The Benton Wheel

As we conclude the first week of the school year I want to highlight the "Bobcat Wheel" and the mission statement and core values of the school district.  The core values are the cornerstone of the mission statement "Quality Education for a Lifetime of Learning" and include 1) Educational Excellence, 2) Caring/Belonging, 3) Continuous Growth, and 4) Teamwork.

As we embrace these values we also strive to shape the lives of students so that the following Bobcat Standards are achieved during their educational experience at Benton Community:

• Creative Problem Solver
• Cooperative Contributor
• Complex Thinker
• Self-Directed Learner
• Responsible Citizen
• Effective Communicator

Congratulations to the students and staff of Benton Community on a great first week of the school year!
