Welcome, my name is Julie Bower I have been teaching in Craven County Schools since 2004. This is my eighth year at Arthur W. Edwards Elementary school. I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child. I am excited to teach first graders this upcoming school year and watch the spark of learning ignite in children. ​

I have been married to my wonderful husband Robert for thirty years. We have two children: Anne Marie (25). Our son Christopher (23) 

I enjoy reading a good book, junkin' (antique stores, thrift shops, flea markets and yard sales), church and spending time with family.
