Hello, students and parents! I am Ms. Donaldson, and I am so happy to be a part of the St. Agnes family. This will be my sixth year as a 4th-grade teacher and the Lacrosse Coach for the Lady Stags! I am also very excited to coach the girls' soccer team this year with Ms. McShane! I attended college at Long Island University, where I graduated with a degree in Childhood Education and a National Championship Title in Women's Lacrosse. This past summer, I received a Master's degree in Special Education.
Prior to St. Agnes, I worked as a substitute teacher and head JV Girls Lacrosse Coach in the West Islip School District. I have also dedicated my time as a Pre-K teacher at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Academy of Brooklyn. Fourth grade is such a special year, and I feel so blessed to be a part of it. It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students.
I am looking forward to a fantastic year! If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]
Just like sunflowers thrive in full sun,
sunflower faith thrives in full Son.
We need Jesus to shine on us.
If we get enough of God’s light, it is well in our souls.
It’s as simple as that.
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28: 19-20
