Dena Palenske

My name is Dena Palenske and I am originally from Oklahoma. I am married to Mark Palenske who pastors First Assembly of God church in Greers Ferry. We have three married children and three (triplet) grand kids.

My education career began twenty-two years ago when my last child entered kindergarten. When I cried because I was all alone, Aaron said, “ Mom, you can work in the cafeteria”! I took his advice and talk to the principal. He placed me in Kindergarten of all places and the rest is history. Pre-school and kindergarten are my favorite simply because hands on learning is fun and exciting!!

Currently, I am working as a dyslexia educator. I have found a new challenging position and have learned a lot. The program is incredible. These students are gaining confidence and learning at a rapid pace. I believe every student could benefit from it. Our team of ladies are just that, a team. Always there to support the other.

Education is the best job you could have. During the off season I enjoy traveling with my husband, gardening, reading, sewing, and handing out with the triplets.
