Fireworks for Benton class of 2020
BENTON, Wis.–Benton’s graduation ceremony at the football field will include fireworks features on Friday, July 10 at 8:30 p.m. Superintendent Todd Bastian informed the school board at its Wednesday, May 13 meeting that the senior class will use class funds to purchase fireworks to shoot off after the ceremony. The rain date is Sunday, July 12.
“The graduation will be followed by a fireworks display,” said Bastian. “The seniors have some money that they don’t have anything else to do with, so the senior class has decided to use it for that along with donations that have been secured from the community to pay for the fireworks.”
Bastian said that it is all dependant on the rules and regulations at the time set forth by the state and county. The district will follow the social distancing guidelines and group guidelines they will have at that time.
