Mrs. LaDonna Rees, Special Education Teacher and Title One Coordinator

    This is my 19th year teaching special education. I graduated from the University of Oregon in 1987 with a degree in elementary education and special education. I completed my Master degree in Special education in 1993.  I taught for 12 years in Southern California before we decided to move our family to rural Alaska. This is my 6th year at Kenny Lake School and this is the greatest place on earth to live and teach.
