Benton's 50th Anniversary:

We've been interviewing Bobcats past and present.  I will roll out the videos for these soon!  Keep asking your child about his or her role in our interview process!  It has been so much fun for all of us to learn about Benton's history.

Rodgers Park:

Kindergarten, first, and second grade students will be going to Rodgers Park on Thursday, May 26th.  We hope to leave Keystone Elementary around 8:50am and will return around 1:30pm.  Your child will need a sack lunch on this day.  Please also make sure your child has an extra bottle of water and sunscreen.  A hat is also recommended for this trip.  It looks like summer is going to arrive next week; right in time for our trip!

Step-Up Day:

On Friday, your child will go to his or her 2nd grade classroom for about two hours.  Each student will spend some time getting to know their 2nd grade teacher and getting familiar with their new classmates.  


Maker Challenges:

We've been participating in a number of different maker challenges.  Be sure to follow our challenges on Instagram at BCFirst and on Twitter at #keyrocks and #bcmakers.
