From Representative Thomas Gerhold:
The Capitol was treated to a huge wave of blue jacketed young people on Tuesday, the Future Farmers of America chapters from across the state, and it’s fantastic to see so many bright futures in the FFA! When I was an FFA member, most were guys and from a farm. Now, it seems the makeup has almost flipped to majority being female and not from a farm. It’s great to see all of them involved.

Tyler Maschino is currently the Technology Director at Benton Community Schools. He’s been employed at Benton for the past 24 years. When he first got here email was a big deal and data was stored on 1.44 inch floppy disks. Those disks wouldn’t have the space to store one photo taken with an iPhone today.
Kindergarten and Preschool Pre-Registration will be Monday, February 6, 2023 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at both Atkins Elementary & Keystone Elementary.
