Hi! I'm Mrs. Pacey. Welcome to another year as a Gator at Grove Elementary. I hope you're as excited as I am to get back to school, and will be returning refreshed, relaxed, and ready for the best 5th grade year ever! This year will look different than other years past at Grove, but I know we will persevere together and make the best of our time in room 172.
Even though I graduated from Illinois State University I’ve been calling Bloomington-Normal officially home now going on six years. This will be my eighth year teaching, and my sixth year teaching at Grove. In the past I have taught first, second, and fifth grades (fifth grade without a doubt being my favorite). My husband and I have a son, Camden, who is three. He has kept us busy all summer long at the park, lake, and on many bike rides. We also have a five year old Goldendoodle named Kobe.
Students, I am SO ecstatic that you will be in my class this year and am incredibly excited to get to know you, your families, and to be your teacher. I plan for us to have fun, learn something new each day, and have a great year together! Don’t forget- this is your last first day as a Grove Gator! We have to make this year one to never forget!
There’s nothing greater than being a Gator!
