Today’s forecast: a chance to learn from our friend Lincoln! ☀️🐾

Lincoln joined our morning announcements to share the weather using his AAC device! During AAC Awareness Month, we’re learning that people communicate in many ways—and every person deserves the time, tools, and opportunity to be heard.

Wildcats, remember: listen, give others time to share, and make room for every voice. Thank you, Lincoln, for sharing yours! 💛🖤

If your little one played over the weekend on the playground and lost their teeny Hey Dudes, please call the office and let us know what color they are, we will arrange for you to pick them up in the office!

Fire trucks, friendly faces, and important lessons! 🚒❤️ Thank you to the Neosho Area Fire Protection District for visiting Benton and helping our students learn about fire safety. From seeing firefighters in their gear to exploring the truck, our Wildcats loved learning from the people who help keep our community safe!

Our Benton Student Leaders made us so proud tonight at Hope Kitchen Neosho! 🖤💛 From warmly welcoming guests to taking drink orders and making sure everyone was well cared for, they gave their time and worked hard to serve our community. Their kindness and hospitality were remarkable—a beautiful reminder that you are never too young to make a difference.

Thank you to Gateway Meats for donating the deer meat, and our team for helping make tonight possible. Thank you to our families for supporting our student leaders and to Hope Kitchen for giving them this opportunity to serve!

These Wildcats are living out what it means to be "Built for More!"🐾
