The following are bios submitted by retiring staff and faculty at Benton Community School District:
Maureen Arndt
I first came to Benton Community Schools in the Fall of 1993. My primary assignment was working with the middle school band and the 6* grade band, and extending the band program to the 5* grade level as well, in a few years, the middle school band program was growing substantially in size, so Michelle Lampkin was hired to take over the middle school program, and 1 transitioned to working with the 5th and 6* grade bands at the elementary level. When Benton restructured the elementary buildings, I was able to unify the elementary bands In the Norway building. Teaching beginning and elementary bands has always been my career goal, and my years of teaching at Benton Community have helped me to reach that goal, I’m grateful for the faculty, staff…
