Benton Community welcomed new staff and teacher leaders back to school yesterday. Our new staff spent the morning learning about the mission, vision, and the values of the district and the afternoon was spent touring all of the towns and school buildings that make up Benton Community. We are excited to have all staff back on Monday!
Registration for the Benton Fall Flag Football for 1st-6th grade is due this Friday, August 15. If you have not already mailed in your registration, please email the registration information to Coach Zittergruen.
