•       Welcome back to school!  My name is Debbie Bearden, and I am a second-grade teacher at Ann Smith Elementary School.

          Here is a little bit about me.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Daemen College in Elementary Education, and I have my Master's Degree from Mississippi College.  I am also a National Board-Certified Teacher.  This is my 29th year to teach!  My husband, Tom, and I live in the Gluckstadt area, and we have three children.  Dylan is a Mississippi State University graduate and lives in Tupelo, MS.  Jakob is a Mississippi University for Women graduate and lives in Jackson, MS.  Our daughter, Hannah, just graduated from Mississippi State University in May!  Even though all our kids are out of the house, we have three adorable dogs that keep us busy!

        I am looking forward to a great school year!  We have so many fun things planned for this year!
