Round Up for the Playground each time you shop at Country Fresh.  September 2025.  This September, every penny counts!  Each time you shop at Country Fresh Market & Hardware, you'll have the change to ROUND UP your change to help build the Elementary School Playground.  We're excited to match all donations, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000.


Hello Tiger Families,

We’re off to an amazing start to the school year, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our families and community! In this video update, I wanted to share some important information, including:

  • Student Information Forms - Please log in to Synergy and update your contact information, emergency contacts, and no media preferences.  This option will be available this coming week.

  • Attendance Reminder - If your child is absent, please email Mrs. Popp or Mrs. Bogart.  Remember to follow up with an excuse on absences of three days of absences or more than 10 days.

  • A huge thank you for your patience with our new drop-off and pick-up procedures and for making our Open House such a success! Together, we raised $1,236 for our new playground project!

  • Benton Elementary Cookbook - We’re collecting recipes from families, staff, and community members including Emma Lou’s famous sticky buns! Stay tuned for details on how to submit your favorites.

  • Country Fresh Round-Up - Throughout September, Country Fresh is hosting a Round-Up Fundraiser for our playground. Even better - they’ll match donations up to $5,000!

  • Important Dates - No school September 22-26 due to the fair.

Thank you for your continued support - we’re excited for an amazing year at Benton Elementary! 

Go Tigers!

Mr. Yarnell
