Teacher of the Year honored at Most Blessed Sacrament

The Knights of Columbus Council 9053 recently honored Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School kindergarten teacher Joanne Curry with the 2021 Teacher of the Year Award. No award ceremony will take place this year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Curry has served the school’s ministry of faith and academics as kindergarten teacher since 2004 and was one of its first employees, starting the year MBS opened in 2003. Curry serves as an example of the excellence and dedication  found in MSB teachers and assistants.

In nominating Curry, one of her colleagues said, “Mrs. Curry creates a positive, structured classroom environment that is conducive to learning. She establishes effective rules for classroom behavior, and observes, evaluates and records students' academic and social progress.”

Another colleague said, "Joanne is one the most kind, compassionate and wonderful teachers on our staff. She always goes above and beyond for her students, and she is often found at school on the weekends. She is someone I look up to and strive to emulate.”

Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is a preschool through eighth-grade school in Berlin, Md. For information, contact Amanda Evans, director of admissions and advancement, at 410-208-1600.
