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.

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.
