Sallie Douglas Dennison interview teacher appreciation week

When I started volunteering as an adult in the library at my old elementary school , I found out  a few of my teachers were still here.  Mrs. Dixon, and Mrs. Dennison both recognized me almost 20 years after I was in the class. Mrs Dixon remembered my name first and then Mrs. Dennison tried to put a face to the name. Once she made the connection she realized my picture was still in her classroom.  Podcast Episode Interview Title: Challenges and Choices: A Special-Needs Perspective Theme: Teacher Appreciation Week Special Host: Joey Guest: Mrs. Sally Douglas Dennison ⸻ Introduction: Welcome to our special Teacher Appreciation Week episode of "Challenges and Choices: A Special-Needs Perspective."
