Hello! Welcome to 1st grade. My name is Mr. Bowen. I'm excited to teach your child this year. I have taught for 7 years. This will be my 2nd year teaching 1st grade. Within the past month, I just finished my master's degree in administration. I live in LaPorte with my wife, 2 year old son, and dog. Some things I enjoy to do is hunt, coach, and be with my family. I'm looking forward to a terrific year.
