Meet Mrs. Donohue....
Hi my name is Mrs. Ashley Donohue! You may know me as Ms. Wilke. I have been teaching at Mills Park since it opened in 2008. This will be my fourth year teaching first grade.
I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I graduated from Ohio University in 2008 and moved to Raleigh right after to begin my teaching career at Mills Park Elementary. Shortly after moving to Raleigh I met Greg. We were married on July 30th this past summer. Greg and I currently live in Raleigh with our chocolate lab, KC. KC is spoiled rotten and your children will learn a lot about her this school year. This year, Greg and I will begin our search for a home.
I am beginning my National Boards Certification this fall. I'm excited for this new learning experience.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, walking my dog, and cooking! I enjoy spending time with my friends, going to the beach, and traveling.

Meet MRs. Crawford...
Hi, my name is Mrs. Michelle Crawford. I am new to the Mills Park team and excited to be joining Mrs. Donohue and a fabulous first grade class.
I was born in Provo, Utah, but I grew up in Raleigh. I went to East Carolina University where I studied business and marketing. I loved school so much that I went back to school and earned my second degree in Interior Design. Just like Mrs. Donohue, I got married this past summer on July 9th. My husband Kader and I currently live in Chapel Hill and love Carolina football and basketball. I have two spoiled kitties, Bella and Duncan Dounut.
While I was in school, I began subing in the Gaston County School System and learned that I had two passions, design and teaching. I am currently studying for the GRE so that I can go back to school and earn my masters in teaching, so that one day I will have a first grade class of my own.
I love spending my extra time baking, painting, and shopping. I love sunshine and reading on a sandy beach. I also love music, snorkeling and finding something creative to do.
