Dear Parents,

I am excited to be a part of Stone Soup Camp!  Working with children of all abilities is my passion.  I have taught at the two previous F.A.C.E.S. camps and have just finished my fourth year as a special education teacher. I am looking forward to working with your child this year!  Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or things you would like me to know about your child.  My email is denny.pettway@gmail.com and my cell phone number is 706-248-5663. 

Denny Pettway began his teaching career after spending twenty years as a United States Marine.  Prior to retirement from the Marines, Denny completed his undergraduate in psychology and began his masters in special education.  His first experience in education was at Rutland Academy in Athens, Ga., where he worked with middle school kids with severe emotional/behavior disorders.  This is where Mr. Pettway discovered his love for students with special needs.  From Rutland, he went to Barnett Shoals Elementary also in Athens.  While at Barnett Shoals he taught students with special needs in grades 1-5 as well as holding social skills groups for students with Autism in grades 1-5.  Mr. Pettway now works at Timothy Road Elementary in a district level classroom, teaching second graders with significant developmental delays and/or emotional behavior disorders in a behavior focused classroom.  He is currently pursuing an educational specialist degree in brain-based teaching and learning.
