I teach Kindergarten at Atkins Elementary School. 3 years ago I chose to work at Benton Community because I wanted to teach in a community that felt like a family. Ever since making the choice of becoming a Bobcat I have met so many wonderful, families, students, coworkers, and lifelong friends. I couldn't ask for a better place to come to work every day.
