Benton Elementary School

🍎 Celebrating 25 Years of Service 🍎

We are proud to recognize Mrs. Stephanie Helton for an incredible milestone—25 years at Benton Elementary!

For a quarter of a century, Mrs. Helton has been an important part of our school community. From her time serving students in Special Education to her current role on our fourth-grade team, she has remained committed to helping students learn and grow.

Mrs. Helton has a gift for seeing students' potential and helping them make meaningful academic progress. She is especially skilled at supporting students with IEP services and helping them reach levels of proficiency they may not have achieved previously. Year after year, her high expectations and dedication help students accomplish more than they thought possible.

In addition to her work with students, Mrs. Helton has been a valued member of our team and has helped shape the Benton experience for countless students and families over the past 25 years.

Thank you, Mrs. Helton, for your years of service and commitment to Benton Elementary. Congratulations on 25 years!

✍️📚 We are so proud of our Benton students who represented our school at the Crowder College Young Authors Conference!

Ten Benton Elementary students had the opportunity to attend and celebrate the power of storytelling, creativity, and student voice alongside other young authors from across the region, they even got to meet local writers!

Events like this remind us that our students are Built for More — more imagination, more courage, and more opportunities to share their ideas with the world. We are incredibly proud of these Wildcats for stepping forward as writers and creators! 💙💛

A huge thank you to the teachers and families who encourage our students to read, write, and dream big every day.
