Benton Community School District

Seniors: We will have a Senior Meeting on 9-15-22 during 5th Period (2:40-3:20 PM) in the auditorium to go over important information for you during your Senior Year. Cross Country will have a meet on this date and Mr. Cretin will meet with those individuals separately. Please make every effort to be in attendance. If you cannot make the meeting, then you will need to meet individually with Mr. Cretin. Attendance will be taken and we will have handouts. Mr. Cretin will not meet with anyone individually until after we have had the large-group meeting.

I am currently the instructional coach at Atkins Elementary, starting my seventh year here. I have also taught K-3 Intervention, Kindergarten, and 1st Grade during my 6 other years in the district. I love to spend time outside with my family including my two sons, Beau and Jace, who keep me very busy! I also enjoy reading, watching HGTV, and cooking for my family.

This is the start of my 24th year at Benton Community as an elementary counselor. Prior to that, I taught middle school math in another district for four years. My husband Matt and I live in Atkins, and my two kids are both Benton graduates. I enjoy playing and watching sports, especially the Bobcats and Cyclones!
