Hi 3rd Grade!
My name is Mrs. Denning, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This will be my first year teaching at Lovejoy, so I’m looking forward to learning and growing with you. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Northern Iowa. I live in Altoona with my husband Kyle and 2 daughters. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, watching sports, reading, and sharing delicious meals with friends! I can’t wait to build our classroom community, watch you learn, and challenge yourselves to reach for new goals!

In my free time I love to spend time with my husband and our dog, Cash. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, paddle boarding, biking, swimming and traveling. In second grade we will challenge ourselves, make new friends, and have fun while learning new things!
