Kindness Award Winner

Donna Anton exudes kindness. Whether interacting with staff, families, or students, Donna's loving nature makes one feel heard, seen, and valued. When interacting with our youngest students to our oldest (pre-Kindergarten to 8th grade), Donna establishes a respectful and caring relationship. She holds students accountable in an encouraging and supportive way, one where the recognize how they can do better. She goes above and beyond in her role as our library paraprofessional. She is eager to be an active member of our Sherman Knight community and as a result, her role has expanded. When our local animal shelter was overwhelmed with a animal hoarding situation, Donnan immediately asked if she could run a fundraiser for the shelter. She encouraged students to take on leadership roles to promote student involvement and, as a result, a large number of items and money was donated. Over three hundred dollars was collected in four days. Donna's interaction with students fostered kindness and empathy towards all living beings. Students have asked Donna to be an advisor to other missions near and dear to their hearts, such as our veterans. Similarly, Donna has asked if she could be a part of a student reconciliation team, where she would help to mentor students who would help other students resolve conflict in a healthy way. Her hopes to establish a kinder community, one in which students have an active role to play, is commendable. She is kind and she means business when it comes to kindness. When she was concerned about a colleague, Donna advocated to make sure her colleague was supported and got the resources needed. This is typical of Donna. When she sees a need, she doesn't sit complacently by or just talk about it. She acts. And in her action, she becomes an exemplary role model for our school community.
