Benton recommends that students keep money in pockets, ziploc bags, or a coin purse with their name. We do not recommend leaving money in a back pack in the hallway. Prepaid lunch tickets are highly recommended and may be purchased through the Columbia Public Schools Food Service Office at 1818 W. Worley. Charges are limited to three days.
