Donelson’s annual Hero Day
Parade was Wednesday, Sept. 11th
in front of the school. Parents,
grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.
who work in a service role for our
community marched in a parade
(with their students) around the
front entrance as classes cheer them
on. Students will also visit emergency vehicles on campus, including a helicopter, fire truck, and
critical care ambulance.
