My name is Donna Sutherland and I am from Biloxi, Mississippi. I recently got married this past year, and have one dog named Dixie. This will be my 7^th year here at North Bay, but my 3rd year of teaching. I recently taught in second grade but I am excited to start this new journey in first grade! I truly enjoy learning about my students and helping them grow!

I graduated from William Carey University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I also have endorsements in Social Studies and Math K-12.  I enjoy traveling, going camping, running, and spending time with friends and family. I became a teacher because of my love for children and because of the amazing teachers that taught and inspired me when I was a student.

I believe it is important to not only teach children, but to nurture, inspire, lead, and encourage our students, for they are our future leaders!
