Ms. Donalds is an awesome teacher because she turns Environmental Science into a high-energy, safe space where no one is afraid to fail. She makes us excited to show up by keeping lessons and showing us how the planet actually connects to our daily lives. Whether she’s checking in to see how we’re really doing or using our mistakes as learning steps rather than failures, she constantly proves she cares about us as people, not just students. By always believing in our potential, Ms. Donalds supports us both inside the classroom and out in the real world, giving us the confidence to make a difference.
