MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University gymnastics team traveled back in time last week, revisiting their grade-school years and making a surprise stop at Morgantown’s Skyview Elementary on Feb.3 to drop off boxes and bags of donated books and school supplies.
Mountaineer Nation answered the call on Jan. 29, bringing with them to the Mountaineers’ “Teacher Appreciation Day” meet books for all ages, including the latest, much coveted Captain Underpants novel, as well as book bags, pens, markers, pencils, notebooks and crayons.
With donations in hand, four Mountaineers – freshman Abby Kaufman, sophomore Carly Galpin, junior Jordan Gillette and senior Mackenzie Myers – and assistant coach Kaylyn Millick arrived at the school Friday afternoon before departing Morgantown for a meet at Kent State.
