"My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the ways in which our students, staff, alumni, and community members are All In for Benton Community! We are proud parents of a recent alum and have a 5th and 7th grade student at Benton-the student experience is outstanding!"
Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Why Benton? "I chose to teach at Benton because of the small town atmosphere, where students and parents are encouraged to be active and involved. On top of that, Benton has numerous options available for our students, whether it be sports, the fine arts or clubs. Many of our students are involved in multiple activities, sometimes several in one season. All of this really bolsters the sense of community."
Parents, great night to plan some holiday shopping or Christmas gift wrapping without the kiddos!
School will dismiss at 1:00 p.m. today, Monday, November 20.

Many thanks for all who organized, attended, and shared resources!
