Staff Spotlight

Mrs. MacDonald is a very wonderful and interesting teacher!

This year, she is teaching a Grade 5 class at Ruth King Elementary.  She got the job at our school fifteen years ago, back in 2007. Before working at Ruth King, she worked at Journey Middle School teaching grade 8.

Her favorite part about working in Ruth King is working with the students.

When Mrs. MacDonald isn’t at work, she likes to garden, go hiking, crafting, cooking, baking, sewing and listening to music. Her favorite book series is the Little House In the Woods. It makes her feel like she wants to go back in time.

Her favorite animals are donkeys. I think it maybe my 3rd favorite animal. Mrs. MacDonald has three siblings and she is the youngest. Her favorite subject to teach is Social Studies and History.
