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.
