Join us on 05/26/10 with Author & Educator Donna Mavrides
Donna graduated from Penn State University with degrees in both Early Childhood Education and in Developmental Psychology. For the past thirty years, she has been in the classroom teaching young children as well as educating families about healthy child rearing practices, affective discipline, and effective teaching techniques . Writing children’s books has evolved as an extension of her passion for helping children to become dedicated, empathetic, enthusiastic, life time learners. Donna is the proud mother of two wonderful young women, Jamie, a teacher and Nicole, a pediatric and adult psychiatrist. Her son in law, Randy, is an important member of the family as are Donna’s energetic and terrific parents, Roz and Jack. Oftentimes, Shana, the therapy dog, accompanies Donna as she visits with children during story times.
Donna believes that she has evolved into the person she is as a result of her life experiences, meaningful moments, successes, hardships, trials, and interactions with caring, wonderful people as well as those less than lovelies, that we have all dealt with. Donna’s picture books are filled with beautiful and meaningful life lessons like believing in oneself, being kind, eternal love, accepting new ideas and people, and helping to preserve our wonderful world.
Please join Donna in helping build our children’s self confidence as we communicate our devotion to reading, to loving ourselves, our families and our friends. Let’s read Donna’s books as we pledge to create a kinder and greener future for our children.
