Congratulations to Ms. McDonald, our November Teacher of the Month! She is a 6th grade ELA teacher who also assists with Robotics, Club180, after-school tutoring, and more. Ms. McDonald is often the first teacher on campus each day and one of the last to leave.
Ms. McDonald is a proud alumna of Clark-Shaw. When she began college, she started as a computer science major with no plans to teach. Through her classes and interactions with others, she constantly reflected on what had the greatest impact on her. She realized it was her years as a student at Clark-Shaw and her teachers. She felt the calling to become a teacher and changed her major to education.
Ms. McDonald, we are very grateful that you returned to your “home” in our Eagles’ Nest. You continue to impact students by investing your time and energy into them. We are thankful for all you do for our students and school!
