My name is Alexis. I am a 7th grader at Shadow Ridge Middle School and I am a Devoted Dolphin. I was a Donald Dolphin from 2018-2022, 2nd-5th grade. When I was a Dolphin my favorite thing was PE and going to different Specials.
When I volunteer I get to help students with their letter sounds, decoding and other literacy games in Kindergarten with Mrs. Esch. It’s fun because she was my 2nd grade teacher my first year at Donald!
Being a Devoted Dolphin means a lot because I feel like I can enjoy the feeling of being there again. I miss being a Dolphin. I love that I can help the next generation of dolphins be successful and make sure they enjoy their time there just like I did.
My advice for 5th graders this year is to really enjoy it while it lasts because middle school is so much different and you’ll miss elementary a lot. They also need to be prepared to do homework.
Mrs. Hoffman is looking for donations from those of you with overflowing craft supply collections at home! She's teaching a group of 5th Grade Dolphins the art of cross-stitch, but she needs supplies to keep them going. If you have any unused cross-stitch kits, thread, needles, patterns, or fabric you would like to donate, Mrs. Hoffman would appreciate your help!

We would love to have you volunteer in our classrooms and at extracurricular events! To get started, JOIN the Donald PTA, and then complete your yearly VOLY Background Check. All volunteers must have a current VOLY Background Check, so if it has been a while since you completed this process, check in with the Donald Office Staff to see if you're approved!
The LISD Recognize SomeONE program gives our staff and community members the opportunity to highlight the exceptional work the do. If a Donald staff member has made an impact on your student or family this week, please take a moment to Recognize SomeONE and let them know how much they mean!
