Teamwork is a core value held by Benton Community. Today, staff had the opportunity to work in teams in a variety of settings in order to positively impact students they serve.
The kinders in Mrs. Terry's and Mrs. Anderson's classes were excited to be practicing their letters. Modeling, movement, and practice were all pieces of the instruction.
Yesterday was a great afternoon to take math outside! Mrs. Ehlen and her second graders were working on measurement and skip counting.

My name is Kim Fisher and I serve as an Instructional Coach and PK-6 Curriculum and Professional Development Leader for the district. I was born and raised in this great district and am proudly entering my 19th year as an employee. I live in Van Horne with my husband (Ryan), and three boys (Aidan-7th grade, Brooks-3rd grade, Dierks-1st grade). I continue to choose Benton because this community molded me into the person I am today and I want to pay it forward to other Bobcats.

Our youngest learners started the 2023-24 school year today! Preschool programs got kicked off for both 3 and 4-year-olds at Atkins Elementary and Keystone Elementary. The students who started 3PK today will be the graduating class of 2038 and the students who started 4PK today will be the graduating class of 2037. We are excited to fill those years in between with opportunities that lead to learning and growth for each and every one of them. #APlaceToBelong

Have a wonderful weekend Bobcats!
My name is Anna Selk and I am beginning my twelfth year as an employee at Benton Community. I have served in a variety of positions throughout the district and currently have the great pleasure of serving as Associate Superintendent. My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the interactions with the wonderful people that make up this amazing school community. I am fortunate to live, work, and grow in a district where my personal core values align with the core values of the organization I care so deeply about. The overwhelming sense of pride that students, staff, parents, and other community members have in living life the “Bobcat Way” is truly special, and I feel fortunate to be a part of it as a parent, patron, and employee. I lead with both my head and my heart, and my heart lies in Bobcat Country. Benton Community truly is A Place to Belong. I look forward to continued service and opportunities to build and foster that belief and feeling throughout our system.
