Welcome back!

I hope everyone had a great summer! I changed my name over the summer to Mrs. Gross, so that when the baby is born, she will have our last name! Yes- SHE! We found out that it is a girl! I am due in the middle of November! The students can still call me Mrs. Beacock, but report cards, my e-mail, etc. will all be Gross! Twitter and Instagram will remain the same (Beacock).
