All About Mr. D!
My name is Mr. Denson and I am VERY excited to be your teacher this year! I am originally from Clinton, Mississippi which is just outside of Jackson, Mississippi. I graduated from Clinton High School in 2001. I began my college career in Cleveland, Mississippi at Delta State University in 2003 after a year of Community College as an art student.
I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design and Fine Arts in 2007. Painting, coloring, playing with clay, making crafts, and taking pictures are some of my very favorite things to do! We will be doing A LOT of art in our classroom, so I hope you love art as much as I do! After I graduated college, I moved to Memphis, Tennessee where I thought I wanted to be a Graphic Artist. I worked at a few Graphic Design companies for about two years, then decided I wanted to be an art teacher. In 2007, I began my teaching career as the new art teacher at Frayser High School.

While I worked hard on my school work, I also worked with students with special needs from 2008-2010 for Shelby County Schools at Southwind Elementary. In September of 2010 I completed
my student teaching at Germantown Elementary where I taught 1st grade and Peabody Elementary where I taught Kindergarten. I graduated with my Master's Degree in December of 2010 in Early Childhood Education and taught 4th grade at the end of the 2010-2011 school year at Southwind Elementary. I am currently highly qualified to teach PreK-3rd grade and Visual Art. During my summer break each year, I enjoy doing a fun project around my house and traveling somewhere new. I spent six years teaching Kindergarten with MSCS and this
will be my eighth year teaching Prek. This is my fourth year at White Station Elementary and my 16th year in education! I am truly excited to be able to begin our very first year of school together!
Meet Handsome!
I have a son and his name is Handsome. Yes, that is is real name! :)
Handsome is the happiest and nicest kid you will meet. He is 14 years old and attends University High School at the University of Memphis. Handsome has Autism, but is what we consider High Functioning. This means that although he may need assistance sometimes for more challenging work, he is making amazing progress academically and socially each year. Handsome loves anything that deals with Marvel Avengers, running, exercising, Roblox, Minecraft, and swimming. I am sure you will see him around the school from time to time helping me out and reading to our PreK! |
Meet Blaz, Barbara Jean, and Stryker!
Blaz is a Great Pyrenees and only 14 months old. Yes, he is BIG! Barbara Jean is a Plot Hound Mix we were able to save from a local shelter over the summer. Stryker is 5 years old and loves to be outside under our porch. He's not the cuddliest of cats, but he likes cudles when he wants them. We sure do love our pets!
