Friends and Supporters
The Kennedy-Donovan School community
is forever grateful to dozens of people and organizations for their
extraordinary generosity, which contributes enormously to the
educational experience of our very special students.
This section of our website is a work
in progress that will never be completed fully as we can never
acknowledge them all, and never as well as we wish we could. But
here we begin with just a few of our most generous supporters…
CVS most recently has
committed to funding a technology initiative that - combined with
Cameron’s Kids initiatives - will make
KDC School among the
most technologically advanced Special Education School anywhere!
Thanks CVS!
Debbie and Jeff Goulart
of Cameron’s Kids
 Through
Cameron’s
Kids, the Goularts provide KDC School with more than we ever could have
hoped. Most recently, they partnered with the
Travelers
Companies to fund a much needed and highly desired bus of our
very own! It enables KDC students now to go about the
community at will in safety and style. Now
Cameron’s Kids' is
collaborating with us to com-
 pound
the value of a recent CVS technology grant
to place
state-of-the-art Audio/Visual equipment
in every KDC School classroom.
The Travelers Companies
The many fabulous people at
Travelers not only
matched donations with the
Cameron’s Kids
program in order
to enable us
to purchase the
bus that you see above, but also they regularly volunteer their
time and talents to assist and
interact with KDC students in community based
projects and programs. Thanks to all the kind
people with big hearts at
Travelers!
How
do you place a dollar value on having 20 people show up and
completely rebuild your gardens to make them accessible from wheel
chairs and simultaneously refresh the entire landscaping scheme of the site!
Well, we can’t…other than to say. "Wow!"
And now the Lowe's
team says it is
coming back this year to “finish the job”!
Words alone cannot express our
appreciation to
Lowe's
and all the
wonderful folks who pitched in to make
this possible. Our students love to
garden in their new
"plots".
Sean McDonough - Well Spring
Farms
 The
Sean McDonough Foundation is a very special friend of the students
at the Kennedy-Donovan Center School. As a matter of fact, Mr.
McDonough and his family’s foundation treat our kids to a unique
learning experience available only on an animal farm. Every week! Simply stated, the McDonough Foundation sponsors a weekly field trip
(weather permitting) to the extraordinary Wells Springs Farm located
in Rochester, MA. Wells Spring Farms is an enchanting location that
has modified the farming and husbandry experience in such a way as
to afford even the most fragile students the familiarity of hands-on
animal care and the sensory stimulation that goes along with
this
experience. Sean McDonough may be a great sports announcer, but he
is a lot
more than just talk! Thanks to the McDonoughs for their
incredible work!
