My Heart and Sole and Soul
Here at the Donadoni Academy we have students who go above and beyond to achieve their dreams. That is good. Because you have to put forth extra effort and go the extra mile to get where you want to go. But one of our own…the Marvelous Maeve, truly has gone out of her shoes to …. Read More
Alex’s Saving ME Account
I get my inspiration from many places. But the best place for me to be able to see the light and feel total elation or feel …electric, on fire, free, powerful, or simply rejuvenated and free of debris…is the bathroom. Or in my castle, it is the bathroom / laundry room, And no, that is …. Read More
“Going to Chuck’s”
Let’s Go March-ing in. Just like the Saints. And my PC Friars of course. (In my world Ed Cooley eats free at the Academy any night he wants-Hey Murph, you gonna waive the fees if he’s looking for a tee time at Bradford?). I watch the basketball games and wonder if this is their March? …. Read More

Acceptance Letter
Here is what I just found on the desk of the Donadoni Academy’s Admissions Office. It is our acceptance letter to our students from the Administration. I think you may enjoy it. I know the students who come here bring us great joy. I am sure they will read it and hopefully share it. They …. Read More
How Many More Steps?
It’s that time of year for lots of baseball games, sweaty school days, and plenty of optimism and faith coursing through the walls of the Academy. And yes we have to remember that Wally keeps us consistent and on point- can’t have him going without walks ya know. And I mention the walks because that …. Read More
