Retired English teacher Jean Jory, who was beloved by her own students, has nominated Lucy Godwin as the next teacher to be named for our Kump Education Center “Apple for the Teacher Tree.”
Godwin has brought innovation and opportunity to students in rural Beverly, where there is no public library and many students have no reading material at home.
When Godwin was busy teaching 4th and 5th grade at Beverly Elementary in 2017, she earned a $3,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation to purchase books for a Bookmobile. Godwin and Principal Paul Zickefoose took his van on a route with 13 stops in order to reach as many students as possible. With fuel paid for by Elkins Rotary Club and a few balloons from Dollar Tree, the van went on its way every Tuesday.
