Hi everyone! My name is Emily DeNeve and I teach reading, math, and ELO (extended learning opportunities - formerly known as TAG) interventions to students in 4th-6th grades. Both my husband and I are former Bobcats who now work in the schools where we were once students. We just welcomed our first daughter, Alayna, in May; she is excited to be a future Bobcat!
