Caitlin Donaldson

Kindergarten Teacher

Hi! My name is Mrs. Donaldson and I teach Kindergarten. I’ve been a member of the Winter Hill Wildcat family since 2013. In our classroom, all are welcome and respected. My favorite days are the ones when we get to be extra silly (i.e. wear pj’s to school, act out a book we have read, or have Go Noodle dance parties)! At home I like to read, cook, and snuggle with my cat. I also like to go hiking and camping with Mr. Donaldson.
