Hello. Thank you for checking out my website. Here is a little bit
about me, your 7th grade core teacher this year. This is my sixth year at
South Valley. I have loved being on staff here and being a part of this
amazing school. I moved to Gilroy from San Diego where I went to college.
After living in San Diego for 10 years I was eager for a change
in scenery.
Some of the things I enjoy are reading, swimming, and playing
tennis. I play on a couple of USTA tennis teams here in Gilroy and am really
enjoying it. I also love watching movies and camping. One of my goals is to
camp in every National Park in the Western United States. In my own school
career I was very involved in athletics and here at South Valley I am very
involved in our Athletic Department. I have coached Girls Basketball, Boys
Volleyball and Track and Field. Go Tigers!!
This year in Language Arts we will be focusing on reading and
writing. I look forward to getting to know you as readers and authors. We
will have many opportunities to celebrate our writers in H6. Another
exciting part of 7th grade is Social Studies. This year we will learn
World History covering regions such as Europe during the Middle Ages, China,
Japan, Africa and Meso-America. I’m sure you will find it as fascinating as
I do.
I have a heart for seventh graders. This is an amazing time in your
lives transitioning from childhood to adolescence and I am thrilled to be a
part of it. I look forward to a wonderful year and together we can help make
you successful and enjoy your year here at South Valley.
Sincerely,
Ms. Bowlby
My mission is to have each child be successful and feel comfortable here at
South Valley. We will be reading and writing a lot this year. I will also
work hard to show them that Social Studies is a fun and intersting subject!
My goal is that they will leave in June enjoying school and feeling like
they've accomplished much this year!
