Ballard schools welcome new teachers
We’re excited to introduce our new PE teacher, Benton Hanner! Want to get to know him a little better? Here are a couple of his favorites and some fun facts you may not know!
Favorite food: Fast-food fried chicken
Hobbies: Traveling, Basketball, & listening to music
Something that might surprise you...
He has “never lost a fight against a Grizzly bear.” (We'll just take his word for it! )
If he could choose any superpower, it would be time manipulation—either freezing time or traveling back in time to spend more moments with friends and family.
We are so excited to have him as part of our Ballard family and can't wait to see the positive impact he makes on our students!
One of her favorite memories is doing a Halloween science experiment each year featuring a “puking” pumpkin—talk about making learning fun! Her dream vacation? A relaxing trip to beautiful Maine!
We are so excited to have her join our team and can’t wait to see the fun, creativity, and energy she brings to our 2nd grade students. Welcome, Brielle Campbell!

Famous movie car coming to Clinton Sept. 12th
RAMMING SPEED!
A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE DEATHMOBILE COMING SEPTEMBER 12TH!
The infamous Deathmobile was one of the unforgettable stars of the 1978 comedy National Lampoon’s Animal House, created from a Lincoln Continental for the movie’s wild climactic parade scene. The movie car was associated with legendary Hollywood customizer George Barris, the man behind some of the most famous TV and movie cars ever built.
The original in the movie was said to actually be destroyed by the cast in the after movie party!
But the Deathmobile coming to Cruisin’ to Clinton has a pretty special history of its own!
According to its owner, after Animal House became a hit, George Barris was contracted to build three Deathmobile clones to help promote the movie during its re-release. Only TWO were actually built—and the car coming to Clinton is one of them!
That means this isn't just another Deathmobile replica. It’s a actual Barris-built promotional Deathmobile used to promote the real movie.
This car appeared at the Volo Movie Car Museum before being sold publicly
And now you can see it FREE on the Downtown Clinton Square!
Saturday, September 12th
Cruisin’ to Clinton TV/Movie Car Night
Missouri’s Largest Square — Clinton, Missouri
Your chance to see a actual Barris car on the historic Square!
How cool is it that a piece of Hollywood car history like this is coming to Clinton?
