A sportsmanship reminder to all our Bobcats as we begin a new school year.
#BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong

Dr. Pamela Ewell is the Superintendent of Benton Community School District. This is her 4th year at Benton and 14th year as a school superintendent. She is honored and excited to be at Benton!
Dr. Ewell earned her Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 2004. A fun fact….2 of her children were also at ISU at the same time she was working on her degree!
In her spare time, Dr. Ewell loves the outdoors – boating, fishing, gardening, and doing things with her family and 4 grandchildren.
Middle School football players: No practice on Wednesday nights. If you need to get your towel fee in ($3), please do so by Friday. Drink water today and the rest of the week. It is not too late to sign up to play.
