President John Kennedy once stated, “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” As we conclude this Teacher Appreciation Week, please join me in expressing your thanks and gratitude to Benton Community teachers and all employees for their contributions in developing the hopes and dreams of our students. Thank you Bobcat staff on a job well done!
