Hey Wildcats, I want to extend a warm welcome to our newest staff member coming aboard our Beverly Manor team. Please join me in welcoming, Jace Mansfield. Jace Mansfield: 7th Grade ELA My name is Jace Mansfield, and I am positively stoked to be the new 7th Grade ELA teacher here at Beverly Manor! My wife Jasmine (Diederich) and son Jett are also thrilled to be a part of the Wildcat family! I enjoy swimming, using my pellet-smoker to make delicious meals, reading, writing poetry, playing video games, and doing all of the above with my friends and family. I graduated from Bradley University in 2017, and Washington Community High School in 2013. I am color-blind, own every single Nintendo console (except the Virtual Boy… we don’t talk about that…), and have never had a reaction to poison ivy, despite being a creek-rat. Look for me in my classroom (Room 32) and I’ll see you soon!
