A few pics from the Variety Show held at Norway Intermediate this morning.
I previously taught High School math for 14 years, and I am currently the building principal at the Norway Center for the past four years. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, vacationing, and watching my children's many activities.

2nd grade students at Keystone Elementary operate a lemonade stand today as they learn about jobs and the role of currency (using pretend coins!).
I am a 1st grade teacher at Atkins Elementary. I have been a 1st grade teacher at Atkins for two years and I can't say enough positive things about it. I live in Hiawatha with my boyfriend, Bryce. In my free time I enjoy watching reality tv shows, sports, and hanging out with my friends & family.
Let's Go Cats!

My name is Dena Bridgewater, I live south of Blairstown with my husband, Tom. We have two daughters, Kailey and Whitney. I teach 1st grade at Keystone and have almost completed year 17 at Benton Community. A fun little fact about me, I have taught both 1st and 2nd grade in the classrooms where I was also a first and second grade student in the Keystone building. When I am not at school, you can find me playing with my puppy, Blair, attending a Bobcat event, or hanging with family and friends.
