Westhill team honors former principals BY ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@bothell-reporter.com
Ron Belcher and Stacy Murphy were voracious readers, and they invited students and staff members to follow them along that path. “That’s why we’ve chosen this statue for both principals — to remind us of them,” said Westhill Elementary second-/thirdgrade teacher Kathy Easton while pointing to a picture of a bronze statue featuring two children sitting on a bench and reading a book. Belcher — who died from Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2010 at age 65 — and Murphy — who died from non-Hodgkin’s lym-
phoma in 2011 at age 45 — both served as principals at the Bothell school and are both remembered as strong, caring people who lived their days to the fullest. Each person rarely had a book far from their hands and stressed literacy wherever they went. “I think it’s important for the kids to understand this — these people made a difference and inspired all of us,” said Easton, who is part of the Westhill Elementary Care Team that is raising funds to purchase the memorial statue in honor of the principals. The team began raising money in September, and at press time had garnered $2,134.10 of its goal amount of $3,198.95 to
purchase the 2 ½-foot-by-4 ½ foot statue. With the help of donations, a small grant from a state retirement organization, some PTA money and cash from a few raffles (for Easton’s sticky buns and a chocolate cake), the team is 67 percent of the way there and hopes to have the statue at the school by springtime. They’d like to place the statue in an area near the library that needs to be spruced up with flowers like another spot on campus that Easton had a hand in beautifying, said Westhill officer manager Deanna Taylor, who has been at the school for 28 years. Belcher hired Easton at Westhill 23 years ago. [ more PRINCIPALS page 8 ]
