Donelson Middle - Hand On Nashville Day - Cleaning Up Donelson Middle

Donelson School News – October 2015

Hands On Nashville Day 2015 was a success and I enjoyed helping out at Donelson Middle Prep.  We painted, cleaned outdoor benches and trimmed up the trees at the front of the school.

I was happy to support the Stanford Montessori Fall Festival by donating two gift cards to local businesses (Phat Bites and Cupcake Collection) and sitting in the dunk tank for a bit.  It was actually the same day as the HON Day at Donelson Middle so it was refreshing and fun!

McGavock High School’s Library received a total renovation and opened up on September 3.  Executive Principal Robbin Wall reports that their circulation has doubled since opening!  Check out a photo slide show of the grand opening here.

Thanks to School Leader and Founder LaKendra Butler for taking me on a tour of our new public Charter middle school, STRIVE Collegiate Academy
