Meet Mrs. Pool

Donna has been teaching music in the San Juan Unified School District for 29 years.  She began teaching band, choir, and Commercial Art at Rio Americano High School and then moved to Starr King, Sylvan, and Will Rogers where she taught beginning and advanced bands.  In 2005 she began working at Arcade Middle School, teaching choir and multiple levels of band. She also teaches band at Winston Churchill Middle School.  She feels very lucky to have such a great job with such wonderful students, parents, and colleagues.  It is her "happy place".

Donna plays the tuba in various groups around the Sacramento area and is currently a member of the Sacramento Pops Choir.  She also enjoys gardening, cooking, reading, traveling, building things, Lego, Dungeons and Dragons, video games, painting, spending time with her two kids, and relaxing with her husband and her doggo (Bella).
