This is my 5th year teaching 3 year old preschool and I grow more in love with it every year!! My husband and I live in Blairstown and have 3 kids. Our daughters, Mallory and Jaden, are in college and our son, Jordan is a Sr. at Benton. My life outside of school has slowed down considerably with only having one child in extracurricular activities! I am hoping that having 3 kids out on their own my husband and I will find the time to get back into golfing, traveling, and finding that new balance in our lives!! I'm looking forward to it!!

Benton Community and Central Lutheran will be on a 2 hour delay tomorrow morning, Friday, February 3rd. No morning activities or weight room.

Kindergarten and Preschool Pre-Registration will be Monday, February 6, 2023 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at both Atkins Elementary & Keystone Elementary. #BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong

Tyler Maschino is currently the Technology Director at Benton Community Schools. He’s been employed at Benton for the past 24 years. When he first got here email was a big deal and data was stored on 1.44 inch floppy disks. Those disks wouldn’t have the space to store one photo taken with an iPhone today.

Due to predicted low temperatures, there will be no morning activities or practices tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31st.

Have a wonderful weekend Bobcats!
