Lydia Campbell Awarded Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity FellowshipLydia Campbell, a teacher at Washington STEM Academy, is a recipient of a 2019 Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship.
This $12,000 fellowship enables educators to pursue their dreams and passions, explore new areas of interest, plus expand and develop new and existing talents, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools. Renewal times are opportunities for intentional exploration and reflection that will result in renewed energy, enthusiasm and creativity in teachers and thereby in classrooms and schools, the release states.
Campbell’s project is titled “Pen to Path.” Through this project, she plans to enroll in a refresher creative writing course; participate in the National Writers’ Workshop Write-Out event set within national parks; visit and write in nine western national parks including the Rocky Mountains, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Redwood, Yellowstone and the Badlands. Through this experience, she hopes to enrich her love of creative writing and adventurous spirit.
