Mrs. Beverly Moody, 2nd grade teacher, was named Employee of the Year at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School (IHM).
Mrs. Moody has taught at IHM for 29 years, having taught 2nd grade for the past 25 years. In addition to teaching, Mrs. Moody serves on the school’s calendar committee, social events committee, and chairs the Veterans Day Celebration. When she is not teaching she enjoys cooking and spending time with her family. Her favorite thing about Immaculate Heart of Mary is “the genuine sense of family that permeates our school community.”
When asked about her experience at IHM Mrs. Moody explains, “Having come here many years ago as a parent looking for a school for my own children where they would be challenged academically, held to high standards of behavior, be given the opportunity to grow socially, make close friends, and to be supported in their faith development, my experience at IHM has been one of the richest blessing of my life. From my earliest experience in this amazing, loving, caring, faith-filled community to my present experience each day, many years later, as I continue to interact with students, parents, co-teachers, and administrators, I have been so richly blessed, and I have developed a love for this community which is difficult to express in words. It has been, and continues to be, a privilege and pleasure to serve in the profession of teaching, which I love so dearly, feeling each day a true sense of ministry about my work – an opportunity which the IHM School community so richly provides me.”
