"so saddened to learn of the loss of a dedicated teacher. i worked at Holliman school in past years where Donna was a grade 6 teacher. My daughter was in her math class years ago and had nothing but praise for her. Donna headed a talent show for 6th graders when my son (now a teacher himself!) attended holliman. i have wonderful pictures and memories of that event. i also remember the "chariot races" for 6th graders that Donna helped supervise. She inspired students to work toward their potential. Donna made a difference in the lives of so many students. my condolences to family members on their loss of Donna. helen bradshaw "
In loving memory of
