Mrs. Franck’s class got creative today to draw the house of their dreams while learning about the color orange!
Happy 1st day of school to our 3 year old and 4 year old preschoolers!
Dr. Pamela Ewell is the Superintendent of Benton Community School District. This is her 4th year at Benton and 14th year as a school superintendent. She is honored and excited to be at Benton!
Dr. Ewell earned her Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 2004. A fun fact….2 of her children were also at ISU at the same time she was working on her degree!
In her spare time, Dr. Ewell loves the outdoors – boating, fishing, gardening, and doing things with her family and 4 grandchildren.
And more first day pics from Atkins Elementary!

Day one is complete! It was great to see all of these smiling faces!
We had our annual 1st day of school flag raising. The students were all caring and respectful Bobcats! Thank you to the local VFW for continuing this tradition.
