At the School Board meeting last night, Tracie Kimm was recognized for her years of service to Benton Community as an elementary teacher and her upcoming retirement. We wish Tracie many years of enjoyment in retirement.
"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."
School will dismiss at 1:00 p.m. today, Wednesday, May 15.

"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!"
"My favorite thing about my career is being a member of the Bobcat Family! Teaching in multiple buildings has allowed me to witness and feel the “Bobcat Family” in all areas of our vast district."
