Darren Donaldson is a Canadian-born teacher, whose career has spanned over 24 years. He is currently visiting MaP on a fellowship with our Maths Department. He has taught in Canada and the United Kingdom, and is currently teaching Maths at the Tuxedo Park School in New York. He has a degree in Kinesiology (the study of human and nonhuman movements, performance and function) and an education degree, majoring in Mathematics.
Mr Donaldson was drawn to MaP by our Marimba band, which played at his school during their 2016 tour. He then set out to visit MaP, in the hopes of building the relationship between the two schools.
‘’Our biggest goal is to establish and develop a partnership between Tuxedo Park School and MaP for future years,’’ he said.
Mr Donaldson, a major league baseball enthusiast and fan of the Boston Red Sox, also strongly believes in community service. Upon learning about MaP’s Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC) Program, he started a campaign to raise funds towards sponsoring more students. With help from the Tuxedo Park School community, friends and family, Mr Donaldson’s campaign raised $5, 752 (five thousand, seven hundred and fifty-two dollars).
‘’I love seeing people who have a lot pay it forward,’’ noted Mr Donaldson. ‘’I also love the conservation of animals in Africa.’’
Mr Donaldson will be here for six weeks, teaching classes, interacting with staff and students, and participating in service, physical and enrichment activities. He will return to MaP in March 2018 with students from Tuxedo Park.
