Retiring Ms. Groody grateful for her time at CVHS

Deborah Groody, who teaches APEL, HAMLIT, and Lit and Film, is concluding her final year at CVHS, looking to retire to open a new chapter of her life. Over her time here at CVHS Groody reviewed the best parts of her career, “The best parts were what we do every day: working with students and colleagues, discussing literature, improving writing skills. Every day has also brought reminders of the kindness, compassion, and brilliance of CVHS students. You give me hope for the future.”

Groody exclaimed that with exuberant amounts of memories it’s quite hard to pick a favorite moment, but said, ”Overall it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience and a lot of fun.”

Once retired Groody plans to explore, but life isn’t always perfectly laid out. Groody has a few activities she wants to do, “Read, travel, cook,” but otherwise is going to go with the flow of life, “and perhaps relocate to Europe. You never know.”

Altogether Groody has had an all encompassing experience with CVHS and wants to leave her students and all students of CVHS with this note: “To all my students and colleagues: thank you. It was a privilege to be here with you. Please look after yourselves, and look after others around you. Even the smallest act of kindness can make the world a better place.”
