CSD Library Specialist Rises to Everest-Hike Challenge

She made it.

Canyons District’s Barbara Hopkins reached her goal of hiking to the Base Camp of Mount Everest.

The Library Media Coordinator in CSD’s Evidence-Based Learning Department started the 17,000-foot trek at the start of the month – and she arrived at her destination last Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014. 

Hopkins’ journey up the world’s tallest peak also served as a fund-raiser for an effort that is close to her heart: literacy. She’s steadfast in her desire to help every child, no matter her or his circumstance, learn to read.

In honor of Hopkins’ grueling hike, please consider contributing Room to Read, which works to publish books, train teachers, support girls in their drives to finish secondary school, and establish school and public libraries in all parts of the globe.

You can donate on a web page Hopkins started before her journey.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
