Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day !
Thank you for all that you do to inspire, challenge, and support Benton Community students every day!
A really good night for your Bobcats in pretty chilly conditions last night, lots of personal bests and some near school records! Have to mention Eli in the high jump as he automatically qualifies for the Drake Relays with a clearance at 6’7” - tying his own school record in the event! Keep supporting this team Bobcat Nation, they are working their tails off for you! Go Cats!
