Donald Elementary

Hello Donald Families! 🐬

We are so excited to introduce our new half-time Assistant Principal, Chera Cox!

Ms. Cox brings over 20 years of experience in education, and elementary school has always felt like home to her. This year is going to be a busy one, as she will be splitting her time between Donald and Wellington Elementary—getting the absolute best of both worlds!

When she’s not at school, you can usually find her:

Attempting to hang out with her two college-aged kids (whenever they can fit her into their busy schedules! 😊)

Listening to live music 🎶

Sneaking away to the beach any chance she gets 🏖️

"I am looking forward to getting to know the students, staff, and families of Donald Elementary and becoming part of the Dolphin family. Please don't hesitate to stop by, introduce yourself, or say hello!"

Please join us in giving Mrs. Cox a warm Donald Elementary welcome! Drop a comment below to say hello! 👇💙

Every year 3rd graders hold a Marketplace to learn about economics. They money they make they donate each year. This year they donated it to our Clinic for Nurse Hopper to use. She met with them today to thank them.

Awesome 3rd Graders
Thank you, all for your generous donation!
I am so touched and honored that you thought of helping our clinic with the proceeds from your Marketplace.
You did a wonderful job. Your creativity, hard work, & excitement making such fun things truly made your Marketplace special.
A few I remember were,
The sparkly sunglasses, Dallas Cowboy Bookmarkers, Pokémon beads, Fruit Pencil Toppers, Cute Colorful plants, and Fruity Flavored fan items.
Because of your donation to the clinic, we can purchase grade level, color-coded, well stocked emergency bags for each grade that will be kept in the classroom.
We will also have a well-stocked clinic for next year and because I do not have to ask the PTA for clinical supplies, I am able to ask them for a new Staff Emergency Training kit that includes feedback technology.
--Your kindness, generosity and hard work are making a real difference for everyone at Donald!
--Thank you for all you did—I am so proud of each of you!
