"Choosing to work at Benton Community was an easy decision. It was an extremely short commute, the hours were great, and my children would attend there. I stayed because of the community that is so engaged, concerned and entwined with each other they become like family."

"My favorite thing about being a Benton Bobcat is the community pride shown throughout the District. Pride in our school begins with our littlest learners as they learn respect, responsibility, kindness, and safety from our class mascot, Benny (a bobcat puppet)! "Being a Bobcat" is something we take seriously, and I am honored to be a part instilling that pride!"
School will dismiss at 1:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, May 15.
