My name is Denise Dodd and I am a program aide in Ms. Melissa’s classroom. I am excited about being in my second year at the Early Childhood Center. I have my degree in Elementary Education, but spent about 12 years at home raising my four great kids. Although difficult to admit, my oldest daughter is in high school, my second daughter is in middle school and my two youngest are in 5^th and 2^nd grade. I am currently working on my master’s degree in early childhood.

I grew up in Colorado, so I love being outdoors. I enjoy skiing, both water and snow. I love to go on bike rides with my kids and in the spring we spend many hours at the ball fields. Unfortunately, many of my hobbies have been put to the side so I can make room for my kids and their activities. I do enjoy scrap booking and cooking when I find the time. I look forward to a great year working in the bee room.
