    My name is Mary Ivie and I am delighted to be your Science and Social Studies teacher this year! I love being in the classroom and I can't wait to see what we learn from each other!
     
    I have been teaching for 27 years. I taught for 13 years in Newton County.  Before that, I taught in Jackson County and Franklin County. I have taught every elementary grade level  and every subject except for Kindergarten and 3rd. I graduated from the University of Georgia with my BSED. I earned my MSED from Piedmont College and my EDS from Lincoln University.
     
    My husband, Larry, and I have been married for 37 years. He is also an educator.  He teaches 7th grade at Henderson Middle School. We have four children; Austin (29), Michaella (26), Hannah (23), and Philip (22).   
     
     
    I am so excited about teaching 5th grade and I promise to not only teach your children but to love and look out for them while they are at school.  I know we are going to have a wonderful year!
