Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!

I hope you had a great summer. I can't wait to see all of you this week.  My name is Mrs. Bowden and I have been teaching at Trinity for 14 years.  I am from New Jersey.  I am blessed to have two children named Mary Kate and Paul.  Mary Kate is seven and Paul is 15 months. This summer I spent time at the beach, traveled to upper state NY, and truly enjoyed the my children. I look forward to seeing you this year!
