Krystal Bowie was nominated by her friend, Deborah Lee.

Mrs. Bowie embodies everything you could hope for in an educator.

In addition to the required curriculum, she thoughtfully incorporates social lessons and organizational skills into her teaching, knowing how vital these are for long-term student success.

"Mrs. Bowie will stop at nothing to support a child in need. Her students know they have a true advocate in her, someone who believes in them, supports them, and helps them grow, not just academically, but as people," said Lee.
