What's your new ICS title and position? I am going to be the new second grade teacher at ICS.

Where are you from? If you're not originally from UT, how did you end up here? I’m originally from Virginia but currently live in Sugarhouse. My family and I moved to Utah in 2013 to be a part of church planting around Salt Lake City.

Where do you go to Church? I attend Gospel Grace Church, where my husband is a bi-vocational pastor.

Tell us about your family! I have been married to Josh for 15 years; we have three energetic boys. We like to go hiking, spend time outside, and play board games together. We also have a cute labradoodle named Chase!

What is something most people don't know about you? OR What are you most passionate about? I am passionate about teaching kids, so I pursued an undergraduate degree in elementary education, taught in three different states, and have always taught kids at my church.

What are you looking forward to most in your new role at ICS? I am so excited to get into the classroom with eager learners. I have always taught in a public school and am looking forward to teaching within a Christian context, where I can help the kids understand the Bible.

What else would you like the ICS community to know about you? When I am not teaching, I love reading, running, and watching Hallmark movies.

Welcome to ICS, Mrs. MacAvoy! We are excited for you to be a part of the lion community!
