Hat Day - In honor of Lee, next Friday, April 7 will be “Hat Day”. Grab your favorite hat and wear it to school.

The MS/HS will be changing the ISASP Schedule. We will not be testing next week. We will now be testing on April 10th, 11th, 13th, and 14th. A schedule will be emailed out and Seniors will need to check the exact times they will need to attend that week.

MS FFA Fun Night has been postponed.

Benton and Central Lutheran will dismiss tomorrow, Friday, March 31 at noon due to the National Weather service's outlook for severe weather including strong winds and storms. No afternoon or evening activities.

MS Students: High school FFA members are putting on a MS Fun Night on Friday, March 31st from 6:00-9:00 PM. Permission slips were handed out on Friday and need to be brought back by Wednesday to the ag room or office. Extra forms are also available in the office or Ag room.
