My name is Mrs. Bowen and I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade ELAR this year!! This will be my 26th year teaching.  I taught Kindergarten for many years, moved up to 1st grade, taught 3rd grade for a number of years and now have the privilege to teach 5th. I have been married to Mr. Bowen for 25 years.  We have 4 children; Benjamin (21), graduated from Concordia and works for Centex Restoration. Sarah (18), is a Freshman at Stephen F. Austin University, studying to be a high school language arts teacher.   Luke (16), is a Junior at Concordia and Leah (14), is a Freshman at Concordia.

We love to spend time with our family and friends.  Some of our favorite family activities are road trips, hiking, camping, playing games and watching movies.  Our game nights can be quite competitive!  Our favorite movies to watch include Marvel, Star Wars, Harry Potter and many more.

I am so excited for the school year to start. You will be learning a lot of fun things this year!  

We are a running family.  I've coached track and cross country for many years.  All of our children have run cross country and track.  Currently, Luke and Leah are both on the Concordia XC and track teams.  Leah also plays soccer.  Mr. Bowen isn't a runner, but he is our biggest fan!
