Congratulations to Benton students who completed The Youth Quality Assurance (YQCA) Program certification!
The Youth Quality Assurance (YQCA) Program is an industry-recognized credential that teaches students the principles of animal care, food safety, and ethical livestock production. Through this training, students develop knowledge and skills related to animal well-being, biosecurity, record keeping, and responsible management practices. Earning the YQCA certification helps prepare students for careers in agriculture and is often required for participation in livestock exhibitions and agricultural programs.

We appreciate their commitment to lifelong learning and dedication to helping every Bobcat become a successful reader!
Recently, a dedicated group of our teachers spent time deepening their instructional practices through professional learning focused on Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics with Grant Wood AEA math consultant Becky Thorson.
Through collaboration, problem-solving, and hands-on learning, teachers explored strategies that promote student thinking, engagement, and mathematical reasoning. We are grateful our educators continue investing in their craft so they can provide the very best learning experiences for our students.
