Welcome from the Head of School

Bienvenidos! Youkoso! Salve! Welcome!

Welcome to OUR school! At Bowman we are a community of children, parents, faculty, administrators, board members, and friends working together to create an environment that promotes a love of learning and works to educate the whole child and in doing so creates life-long learners.

As we move into the "Next Generation" of Bowman, our challenge is not that of starting a school, finding a building, or filling it with children. Rather, it is to begin the work toward shifting our focus to the next level of growth- that of a thriving and mature educational institution. This is the "polishing phase"- it takes energy, time, and hard work.

We invite you, the parent community; to join us on this exciting journey ahead- Bowman needs your help, support, and enthusiasm.

What can you expect from me as the Head of School?

For those of you who have known me a long time, I very much look forward to continuing our relationships- stop in and say hello!

For those parents who don't know me well yet, I would like to invite you to take time to get to know me better. My door is always open. If you have something on your mind, I can promise that I will listen.

I look forward to fostering a strong parent-school partnership.

We, as a Bowman Community, are so fortunate to share this year- it will be an exciting time in Bowman history. It is time for us to open doors, make connections, and build bridges- not just in the classrooms but also in the halls, and in the community beyond our walls.

This is OUR school...let's make it happen together.

All the best,

Mary Beth Ricks
