Mrs. Ashbury’s Hero

A native of New Smryna, Florida, Mrs. Ashbury is dear to Beverly’s heart because Mrs. Ashbury and many of the experiences she shares with her students are modeled after her actual encounters as a Teacher. Beverly created Mrs. Ashbury as a tool to empower students and educators through the representation of a Teacher as their advocate and a positive, exciting and welcoming presence in their world. She would like to impart her readers with the awareness that Teacher’s are as excited, unsure, and have lessons they learn throughout the year, just as their students do; “I wanted the world to view teaching from the Teachers’ perspective.” Says Beverly. Beverly is pleased to be able to share Mrs. Ashbury with families and students and hopes to share the adventures of Mrs. Ashbury and her class for years to come.
