Davenport Autopark Continues To Support Local Education


Nash-Rocky Mount Public School System Teachers of the Year will soon find out which of the 28 educators will be the recipient of a brand-new 2012 Honda Civic LX.

This is the fifth year that Neill Nelson, general manager of Davenport Autopark, has donated an automobile for the school district’s Teacher of the Year to use for the entire school year.

“Davenport Honda believes in supporting education and our dedicated educators in the Nash-Rocky Mount area. We truly appreciate teachers and the incredible job they do for our children and our community,” Nelson said. “The Teacher and Principal of the Year Celebration is always a highlight of the year.”

Four laptop computers provided by Hospira also will be given to the three finalists for Teacher of the Year and the Principal of the Year. Finalists will receive a hand carved crystal apple and $1,000 to be used in their classrooms as part of the Ben Craig award presented by Wachovia Bank.

Suzanne Weaver, Red Oak Elementary School Music Teacher and 2010-11 Teacher of the Year, will be on hand to congratulate the 2011-12 teachers of the year and will share with those in attendance her experiences as last year’s Teacher of the Year.

The Teacher of the Year and the Principal of the Year will be announced during a ceremony at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Rose Hill Conference Center. A reception will precede the ceremony at 5:30 p.m.

The names and photographs of both the Principal and Teacher of the Year will be added to the Nash-Rocky Mount Teacher of the Year and Principal of the Year plaques at the school system’s administrative offices.
