"My favorite parts of being a Bobcat are the students and athletes I get to work with each day as well as my great coworkers."
The Benton Community Girls and Boys Basketball programs will be hosting Vinton-Shellsburg on Tuesday, January 30th for our Coaches vs. Cancer night. As a part of this night, we will be doing an apparel store through Elite Sports. The online store is now open and will be closing on January 11th. All items will be delivered to the high school on Friday, January 26th.
Why Benton? "I originally came to Benton because my wife had just gotten a job at Rockwell Collins and I needed to work somewhere near Cedar Rapids so we both would have a short commute. I've stayed at Benton for the last 26 years because from day one I've met, and gotten to work with, so many amazing people. And, it was a great school for our kids to attend. I've been very fortunate to work here and call myself a Bobcat."
School will dismiss at 1:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, January 3.
