Donlon Fun Run 2013

FUN RUN 2013

 

Congratulations Donlon Community!  This year's FUN RUN raised over $30,000!  Thank you students, teachers, families and friends for making this such a successful fundraiser.   The Donlon PFC will now be able to allocate these funds towards upgrading Donlon's Computer Lab.   These computers are well over 5 years old.  The upgrade will enable each student to obtain necessary skills so they can learn about multimedia and technological tools to assist them in their educational experience.  In addition, the Smarter Balanced Assessments students will be required to take by the 2014-15 school year will be performance-based and computer adaptive.  Therefore, our computer lab will require the necessary infrastructure and technology support.
