My name is Brianna White and this is the third school year that I have worked for Tanager's school based program, helping to promote access to therapy services for students and supporting our schools. I live in Blairstown with my husband (Tyler), our cat (Zola), and our dog (Aunna). I enjoy playing board games, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Hello, my name is Holly Hase and I am wrapping up my 4th year teaching Special Education at Benton. My husband and I live in Van Horne with our four amazing children. If I have spare time you will find me curled up with a book but you’re more likely to find me coaching or cheering on my babes at their activities.
Learning from area leaders about workforce development and workforce needs in our area.
The Student Council is searching for 5 students from each grade (8th - 11th) looking to be leaders in the school. Get 15 signatures from your grade on the petition to get your name on the ballot. Petitions are due to Mrs. Neve on Friday, May 5th! Elections will be held on Tuesday, May 9th! Please pick up your petition from Mrs. Neve's room starting today!
This year marks the 24th year I have taught math along with coaching track and field at Benton Community. I live in Van Horne with my husband, Mike, who is a bus driver and substitute teacher for the district, my daughter, Elizabeth, who is a student at Norway Intermediate, and Buddy, our beloved Morkie. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, camping, trips to Michigan, and a good baseball game.
