🔧🚗 We were proud to celebrate our Benton Community students participating in the Pistons to Pathways program and recognized their accomplishments at our October School Board meeting! Congratulations to these students for choosing to invest their own time in such a meaningful learning opportunity! Their willingness to explore new skills, gain hands-on experience, and discover whether a career in the automotive industry might be part of their future is something worth celebrating!
A huge THANK YOU to Joel Thys and the entire Thys Motor Company for investing in our students and providing them with the opportunity to learn valuable skills in one of the most authentic ways possible—through hands-on experiences in a real-world automotive setting!
These are the experiences that bring career exploration to life and help students make informed decisions about their futures. We are incredibly grateful for community partners who recognize the value of investing in our young people and help make opportunities like this possible for our Bobcats! 💙💛
