STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Athletic and Activities Staff Members,
At this point in time we will be placing a freeze on all purchasing of supplies and equipment for next years budget as informed by our administration. We were all asked to find a way to assist in the reduction of 10% of our operating cost even if the levy passed and many of you have given excellent suggestions, however, that reduction may be more due to the levy renewal not passing. Hold tight and pray that we may figure out a way to continue offering activities for our students at Benton. I have received numerous calls and once I receive reports I will make sure that the proper information be delivered to everyone involved.
Thanks,
Mike Ziesel
