Elitha Donner Elementary earns California Distinguished School honors.




Elitha Donner has been selected as 2010 California Distinguished Schools. Our school was honored at an awards ceremony at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim on June 4, 2010.

As a part of the application process, schools are required to write a narrative application and then undergo a site validation process. Schools earning the Distinguished School title agree to share their signature practices with other schools and serve as a mentor to other educators who want to replicate the work.

The California School Recognition Program, now in its 24th year, identifies and honors public schools with the California Distinguished School Award. Participation in the program is voluntary. Elementary and secondary schools are recognized in alternate years.

A total of 484 elementary schools were selected as California Distinguished Schools for 2010. Schools that were selected to apply for the award were identified for meeting designated federal and state accountability measures based on No Child Left Behind, Adequate Yearly Progress and the Academic Performance Index requirements. The process was conducted by the California Department of Education, along with the assistance of local educators from across the state and in partnership with the county superintendents of schools.

DONNER PRIDE - GO DOLPHINS!

Celebrating Our 11th Year in a row!
We are the only school in the Elk Grove District that has been above the 800 goal for all Eleven years the API has been in use.

In the spring of 2009, Elitha Donner students competed in the annual Robert Trigg Track and Field Invitational. Over 40 students received awards during the competition.

For the 2007-2010 school years, Elitha Donner students went to the state finals for Destination Imagination! They also went on to Nationals where they competed with other students around the world. Our students also placed as finalists in the District Spelling Bee, Science Fair and Oral Language Faire.

Elitha Donner was selected to host a press conference on August 31,2004 when the State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell announced the statewide results of the Academic Performance Index. Donner was selected as an outstanding example of quality, since our API continues to be above 800, which is the target score for all California schools, and we are the only school in the Elk Grove District that has been above the 800 goal for all ten years the API has been in use. We are proud that we were selected to host the press conference, and grateful that the staff and community continues to support high standards for students!


During the 2001-2002 school year, the winning tradition continued as the Elitha Donner Volleyball team took first place. The Dolphins faced stiff competition during league play, but they managed to outlast all opponents and remained undefeated. The team was coached by Mr. and Mrs. Matsumoto.

During the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 school years, the Elitha Donner boys basketball teams were undefeated. Under the coaching of Mr. Perris, the Donner boys placed #1 in the entire District! They set a record by winning 22 games in a row!
