This is my 23rd year teaching at Norway Intermediate. I have taught a variety of subjects to my 6th grade students over the years which include math, reading, and language arts/writing. I have decided to retire at the end of this year to spend more time with my family. I have mixed emotions because I will miss the students and the people that I work with. Benton Community will always be a part of me, because the staff and students are what make this district so special. I appreciate the time I have spent in this district because of the close connections I have made with so many people.
