"I chose Benton or rather Benton chose me 21 years ago. I have the pleasure of working with students and staff in our Norway Center as I have just completed my 5th year as the building administrator. Benton is a special place that I am proud to call home and excited for all the possibilities our own 4 children get to experience during their time here."
The Norway Intermediate student send-off was full of high-fives, smiles, hugs, and even a few bittersweet tears. Enjoy your summer, Bobcats!
Come cheer on the Benton Bobcat Softball team tonight as they take on the Williamsburg Raiders! These two undefeated, top 5 ranked teams begin play at 5:30 at Zittergruen Field. If you're unable to join in person, tune into KCRG 9.2. Jeff Linder from the Cedar Rapids Gazette will also be covering this big game on the diamond. Go Bobcats!
Last day fun for middle schoolers! Congratulations on a successful 2024 school year! Have a great summer
"My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the kids we get to work with and the trust our community puts in us to make the Bobcat experience one that is unique and meaningful. We have great kids because we have great parents and there is not a day that I take that for granted."
