Why We Love This Place Wednesdays: Savannah Moore

[Editor’s note: This is a reposting of an article originally published Wednesday when our website was offline]

By Terra Avilla

It was Peach’s very first day of Leap Ahead. As I went to pick to her up, excited to see how her first day went, I was notified that she had… bitten someone.

Now my daughter is definitely not perfect, but to be fair, she had never ever bit anyone before, so of course she would wait for her first day in pre-school to do so.

Luckily for me, her teacher at the time, “Ms. Savannah” vouched for Peach that that behavior was not typical.

I remember her pulling me aside, and saying “don’t worry, she’ll be fine, I’ll watch her.”  And I knew she would. I first met the very beautiful Savannah Moore through Church, where she was a very active member in the children’s ministries.

Savannah has a very warm glow about her, which makes her a natural magnet for little children.  I remember watching Savannah with the children’s ministries, being so wonderful, respectful, and yet firm. The children loved and respected Ms. Savannah.

Over the years I have been lucky enough to get to know Ms. Savannah and I can tell you what an absolute light she is. She is so incredibly smart and articulate and organized and driven, and a million things I hope my daughters grow up to be. I cannot tell you how incredibly happy I am that she is in my life, as well as my children’s.

She is such a positive person. I never, ever hear her speak ill of anyone. Instead, she works incredibly hard. In fact, for years before she had a car, I would see her walking to and from her work. Never complaining. Just a motivated young woman, trying to better herself.

Aside from what she does for her church (which, let me tell you is a lot), Ms. Savannah is a very loving daughter, sister and friend.

She also has the heart of a true servant. Helping to stuff stockings for holiday programs, ringing the bell for the Salvation Army, tutoring children through the pandemic… this girl is the real deal.

She in fact, so wonderful that anytime I have ever mentioned her name to a third-party, they all pretty much, respond with the same thing, “She is so nice!” or “I love her!” Or something in between.

I have never met anyone that has something mean or negative to say about her, and at this point I will probably fight them if they did. (I’m joking… kind of).

Savannah is most definitely the real deal. She is a person who makes our community a better place. She is authentic and sweet and caring.

Yes, I owe her for advocating for my Peach not to get kicked out of pre-school the first day, but I also just owe her a ‘thank you’ for being so sweet and wonderful. And, for caring about children that are not her own, yet she loves them all the same.

Savannah is a true blessing to me, Peach, and my other two girls, and the community as a whole. Which, of course, makes her one of the reasons I love the place we live.
