Why Benton?
I chose Benton because of its long-standing reputation for both a quality education and a variety of activity offerings. This is as true today as it was 27 years ago when I started at Benton.

I enjoy working at Benton because of the people. The staff and students are great people who I get the pleasure of working with every day.
Benton Community and Central Lutheran will be running a 2 hour late start tomorrow, Thursday, December 4. Please remember that there are no morning activities on a late start. Also, there is no breakfast served. The AM and PM preschool session times have been adjusted.
My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the community. I love all of the friendships I have made while working here.

Why Benton?
Growing up here I wanted to bring the love of learning and excitement I had for being a Bobcat. I want to instill that in my own kids as well as my classroom every year.
