The winner of the Student Council "How many kisses?" contest was Isaac Morris. He was the only person to guess the exact amount which was 61 Hershey's Kisses. Isaac, please see Mrs. Neve to claim your chocolates sometime after lunch! Great job!

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.

My name is Cindy Frazier and I teach special education at Norway Intermediate. This is my 33rd year of teaching here at Benton Community. My husband and I are both graduates from Benton Community. We have 3 sons who are 21, 23 and 25 years old. We have spent many hours over the years watching them and cheering them on as they played baseball. We cherish every moment that we get to spend time together as a family.
