Staples students and staff alike mourned the loss of Spanish teacher Donna Kenny.

Kenny came to Staples more than a decade ago from Amity High School.  Throughout the years, Kenny had taught hundreds of students and was called a friend by many co-workers. Her current classes included Spanish 1C, 2A and 3H.

“I will remember her for her elegance,” Dodig said. “She always looked dressed to the nines ready to teach her students the joys of speaking Spanish.”

No funeral arrangements have been announced at this time.
