Hello! My name is Ladonna and this is my 5th year teaching art at PCK. I have
lived in Colorado for 15 years with 14 years being right here in Parker. I grew
up in Southern California and graduated from Cal State Fullerton. After
graduating, my husband and I picked up and moved to Colorado for a change
and to follow our dreams. We had always dreamed of living here and raising a
family in this beautiful state. I was fortunate to stay home with my children
until they started school. Both of my children attend PCK. My son is a 7th grader
and my daughter is in 5th grade.
When I'm not working, I enjoy being with my family doing just about anything
or nothing at all. Over the summer I went to upstate New York to see my son play at Cooperstown
Dreams Park. We also went to NYC to tour the sites. My favorite place was attending mass at St.
Patrick's Cathedral which is a beautiful gothic cathedral. A perfect day for me would always include
something with the arts: seeing a musical, taking an art class, visiting art museums or a concert. I
also like to exercise and I love my Starbucks!
As you can see, I've got the perfect job. It never feels like work to me
because I truly love what I do. Most of the kids are excited to come to art
and their enthusiasm inspires me. There is something special about children's
artwork. I love seeing art through their eyes.
