Donna Park Elementary Our pediatricians are with you every inch of the way. Gives to Others in a Big Way For the past 50 years, Donna Park Elementary has carried on a tradition of giving. Our families are very serious about helping the community, and for many years we have focused our support on the Black and Blue Showdown. This event, hosted by 6 Stones, engages the schools in friendly competition to raise the most food donations for local food pantries. Donna Park families support this event in a variety of ways – from going door to door to encourage neighbors to take part, to bringing collection boxes to work. The donations are carried into the school by smiling students who are proud that they helped. In 2015, more than 72,000 food items were donated by our generous community.
