My name is Cynda Mehlert and I am in my 13th year of teaching. I am a Special Education Teacher at Atkins Elementary but have taught in multiple buildings and grade levels throughout my 10 years here at Benton Community. My favorite part about being a Bobcat is that I am able to consistently teach in inclusive environments and classrooms that promote acceptance among all students.

Stella and Mrs. Nesbitt toured the elementary centers at different points this week. A few pictures from Stella's visit to Atkins Elementary are below. She is a celebrity wherever she goes!


Benton Community buildings are all focused on GRATITUDE as a word and skill area of study this month. Dr. Bieschke and Mrs. Selk traveled the district this morning to provide staff with a sweet treat and share words of appreciation and gratitude. We are so grateful to have such a dedicated group of individuals supporting students throughout the district in a variety of roles.

Benton Community is so fortunate to have so many wonderful, caring associates that support students and systems in a variety of ways.

"The best thing about being a BOBCAT is the atmosphere of the community is like that of a close family. We are supportive of one another and look after each other’s children as if they are our own. "
