Donna Smothers Walker scholarship recipient to continue teacher s legacy

By Erica Thomas, managing editor TRUSSVILLE  The winner of the Donna Smothers Walker Memorial Scholarship was announced Thursday morning. When Evan Cargile learned he was the recipient, he said he was excited and very pleased that someone read what he had to say about his kindergarten teacher. Hewitt-Trussville senior Evan Cargile. “I feel like when I wrote the essay I knew I had a lot to say and it felt rewarding,” Cargile said. “She was phenomenal. I can’t think of one negative memory from being in her class.” Walker passed away earlier this year, at the age of 57. She left behind a legacy that will live on through the many students she taught during her 33 years as an educator. Cargile is a perfect example of that. In fact, Cargile plans to go into education. He will start at the University of Alabama in the fall and will major in music education. It’s teachers like Walker that inspired him to go in that direction.

Scholarship fund established in the name of beloved Trussville teacher

By Erica Thomas, managing editor TRUSSVILLE Everyone has that special teacher that they remember. Maybe you remember your English teacher because she taught you how to communicate effectively and become an excellent writer. Maybe you had a sweet spot for your science teacher because he helped build the foundation that allowed you to become a doctor. Perhaps you remember your kindergarten teacher because she was your first teacher. Oh, that smile and welcoming voice was always comforting to you because you didn’t like when your mom dropped you off at school. Somehow, knowing your teacher would be with you all day helped you get through those trying times.
