Hi, my name is Jackie Bowes. I have been teaching for 13 years.  This is my tenth year teaching in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and my ninth at B.V.M. Previously I taught in the Lexington Diocese in Kentucky where I lived for 13 years. I went to Christ the King (Philadelphia) and went to a Catholic high school in Kentucky.  I graduated from Xavier University (Cincinnati) in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in Advertising and graduated from Eastern KY University  in 2005 with a master’s degree in Elementary Education. I am state certified in KY and PA.  
     I have been married for 11 years and have 2 dogs- Slinky and Rex (I’m a Toy Story fan). For the past 20 years I have worked at Mallin’s Fudge during the summer in Wildwood, NJ. This past summer I took over as owner which kept me very busy. When I am not working I take tap, jazz, hip hop, and Zumba classes, play and watch sports, and go shopping!
