May 28, 2009 · The president of the West Virginia Coal Association visited St. Francis Elementary school in Beckley.
Raney spoke with third graders as part of a Friends of Coal Ladies Auxiliary project called Coal in the Classroom. St. Francis was the first school to adopt the curriculum but it’s expected to expand to the public school system this fall.
The fifth and final Coal in the Classroom session wrapped up on Wednesday.
Now, Morgan Hylton says she has a better understanding of what her dad does for a living.
“My dad is an above ground miner,” Hylton said. “Learn they burn coal to make electricity if we didn’t have it we wouldn’t be able to have a lot of stuff.”
