Hi- I am Danette DiStasio or as the kids know me “Mrs. D”. I am the art teacher at Rocky Mt. and Callaway Elementary schools. This will be my fourth year teaching in Franklin Co. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Art Education from Radford University. I have two children – a Freshman in college and one married living in Ohio. I was a stay at home mom for 12 years and began working in education in 2009.
I love all forms of art, especially watercolor and sketching. I love being able to show children their creative side and all the great things they are capable of creating.
Art is a great way for children to express themselves, encourages “out-of-the box” thinking, and problem solving. I work to incorporate cross curriculum STEAM (reading/math) in my lessons and to expose children to many different artists/art styles.
