My name is Mary Lou Dunlap. I was born in Brigham City Utah. I have been teaching for many years. I taught Kindergarten in Idaho Falls for 24 years and then switched to first grade. I taught first grade in Idaho for four years. We moved to Tennessee in 2002. My husband got a job at St. Jude which brought us to Tennessee where I begin teaching first grade for Tipton county. I have been at Austin Peay Elementary teaching first grade since the school opened. This year I am excited to teach second grade.
