Mrs. Clark has two sons named Cliff and Matthew, both from Evant.  They graduated in the classes of 2001 and 2002 respectively.  She now lives in the Pearl area surrounded by good neighbors and the peace and quiet of nature.  Her co-teacher, Mrs. Adams said that “Betsy is always looking for creative ways to teach writing.  She works on keeping the students interested and involved with their learning.  It is a pleasure to work with her.  She is always ready to help.”  Mrs. Beth Manning has worked with Betsy many years and she said “I have always been very impressed with her creative approach to teaching, her diligence, and her dedication.”

On receiving this award she stated that “I feel honored and blessed to even be teaching in Evant.  Both the students and staff of this school are like family, and I could not love them more if they were.” She looks forward to coming to work every single day and the hugs from her students that she gets each morning really are valued beyond measure.  “My students' smiles and my fellow teachers' dedication and loyalty to the success of our kids impresses and delights me.  The encouragement and support of our administration is beyond compare.”
