LifeChanger of the Year Nominee Profile

Vickie Moody was nominated by her colleague, Jenny Wood.

Ms. Moody is a school nurse. Most people think that means she hands out aspirin and crackers to students, but she does so much more than that. This year, in the face of the pandemic, she has taken on the oversight role for the entire district of 5,000 students in eight buildings, plus staff at two additional buildings. She speaks with public health several times per day to make sure her district is in compliance with the ever-changing guidelines. She remains a voice of reason as students and staff navigate COVID-19 and the "new normal."

"Through it all, Vickie continues to give loving care to our students who are learning face-to-face," said Wood. "She educates our staff in safety protocols and is a member of our district safety team. Vickie also makes an impact in our community as a member of the local Lions Club, helping to raise funds for students who are in need of glasses and eye exams, as well as raising money for scholarships for our seniors."
