Kris Bowers has been teaching for 21 years. According to Kristi, "I wanted to be a teacher entire life.... after earning my first gold star in preschool, I was hooked. I would line up my stuffed animals and teach my little heart out. Twenty one years later, nothing has changed. Although real life students come with a bit more baggage and a lot more attitude than my teddy bears did, the feeling I get standing in front of those students each day is the same as way back then. I am doing what I was born to do."
