Baby Boy Ferro! 12/29/16

Hello Franklin Family,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful extended holiday with your families. I wanted to share the news that we received the best gift ever this year: Luca Orion Ferro was born on 12/29/26 and weighed 7.5 lbs. We're thrilled and in the midst of newborn craziness! Thanks to everyone for their support during my pregnancy. I'll be on maternity leave the rest of the school year to be with my family and look forward to returning to Franklin in the fall. Good luck with the rest of your semester and I'll be stopping in to say hello as soon as I'm able.
Best,
Ms. Ferro :)
