We are two passionate teachers and long time friends teaming together to teach your amazing children.
Meet Mrs. Thomas One of my favorite places is and always will be Lake Michigan! You will notice many special rocks in the classroom that have been discovered on our sandy beaches. I also enjoy reading, walking, biking, gardening, cooking and baking. My husband and I have lived in Brighton for 29 years and have raised 3 "grown ups" here. This is my 14th year teaching Kindergarten / Jr. Kindergarten at BAS. My previous experience includes teaching in Albion, which is also where I grew up. I received my BA from Albion College and continued my education at Wayne State University where I received my Masters in Teaching and special endorsement in Early Childhood Education. I am looking forward to a year filled with JOY, play, wonder, tinkering and learning!
Meet Mrs. Cowher One of my favorite things to do is to go hiking around Michigan. I love to bring treasures back to share in the classroom! I also enjoy creative projects, kayaking, gardening and yoga. I have lived in Brighton with my husband and two kids for the past 15 years and have been teaching in the Brighton Area Schools for the last 24 years. My previous experience includes working as a naturalist at nature centers around Michigan. After earning my BA in early childhood education at U of M - Dearborn I began working for BAS teaching kindergarten, junior kindergarten and elementary science. I look forward to a year filled with wonder, creativity and new friendships!
