Recently, five students from Norway Intermediate joined nine Middle School students for a special afternoon of music-making with Dr. Sarah Bliss and Dr. John Wise, choral directors at UNI. Together, they sang, played, and explored new warm-ups and musical techniques. The experience culminated in a delightful concert at the Gallagher Bluedorn Auditorium. The students performed wonderfully and represented Benton Community with pride.

My favorite thing about being a Benton Bobcat is that I have the opportunity to get up every morning and work with our future generations of Americans. This country was built on an understanding of democracy from our forebears and will continue to be forged in the future by our students who grapple with the same questions about tyranny and democracy.
