Nancy Denig
4th Grade Teacher
Barry Elementary
Welcome to the Pirate family!!! Hello, my name is Nancy Denig and I am a 4th grade teacher at Barry Elementary School. I am so excited to start another year, and I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing school. I grew up in Dearborn, Missouri and currently live in Parkville with my husband and three boys. I graduated from Missouri Western State University in 1996 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education and an emphasis in Early Childhood. Immediately following my graduation from college I got married and moved to Chicago where I began the certification process to teach in Illinois. We lived there for 1 1/2 years then my husband's job relocated us back home to Missouri. I began my teaching career in 1998 at Mid Buchanan Elementary School where I taught 3rd grade. After several years, I decided to take a break and spend my time raising my family. Currently, my boys are well on their way to being young adults and I am truly happy to be teaching at Platte County!! In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my family and our cockapoo, Zeke, at our lake house. If I am not traveling the world, I can be found relaxing on my deck reading a mystery novel or in my kitchen baking up a storm!! No matter the adventure, I am committed to having fun and together we will make this a successful year of learning, laughter, and many memories.
