Ms. Denise Arthurs
I am a micro preemie. I was born at 24 weeks and weighed 2 lbs 9 oz and lost to 1 lb 15 oz. When I was 4 years old we moved to the island of Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles. I had all of my schooling in the Dutch language. When I was 12 years old we moved to Guam where I graduated from high school. I also lived on the island of Sri Lanka when I was 16 years old.
I always wanted to be a teacher. I am certified in Elementary Education and Music Education. I have taught 2nd, 4th, 6th grade ELA and Music. I love teaching Music.
I have an Australian Cattle Dog and we compete in AKC Rally and Obedience. We are also a Pet Therapy Team with Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We go to nursing homes, hospitals and schools to bring cheer to everyone.
