Why Benton?
I chose to teach at Benton due to the small town similarities I had growing up. I have been thankful to work with a great group of teachers and students. It truly makes Benton a place to belong.

Here are a few photos from yesterday as Benton Community celebrated World Down Syndrome Day with “Rock Your Socks!”



Why Benton?
It’s the perfect mix of a large school with tons of opportunities but is made up of students from rural communities.

Reminder school will dismiss early TODAY Tuesday, March 17 at 1:00 p.m.

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the strong sense of belonging you feel. The community of staff, students, and families at Keystone Elementary are truly so special. Until you have gotten to experience this culture for yourself, it is hard to understand the deep connection. I am very fortunate that I continue to feel the support each and every day.

CHANGE IN DATE: Rock Your Socks! Wear your most colorful and mismatched socks to school on Tuesday, March 17th to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day at Benton Community!

All Benton Community buildings are closed today. No activities or practices.
School will be closed March 18 through March 20 for Spring Break! School will resume on Monday, March 23. Enjoy your Spring Break!
