My name is Mary Beth Thomas. I graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.  I later completed my Master's degree, also in Elementary Education. I have been teaching since 2012. I joined the RES family in 2023. Previously I taught 3rd grade for nine years, 1st for four years, and now I'm teaching 2nd grade! 

I have been married to my husband, Brandon, since 2014. Together we have two sons, Cal and Nolan. My husband is part of the baseball and football coaching staff at Bob Jones High School.  We enjoy Alabama football, traveling, and spending time with family. 

I chose to be an educator because I love helping students feel successful, loved, and helping them achieve their goals.  I look forward to working with your child!
