      <image:title>About - Our Story</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mary Roberson technically started her career in education as a kindergarten teacher, but her training and passion for education began long before that. She grew up in a home of educators. Both of her parents were elementary teachers, and her dad an administrator. Dinner table conversations centered around education and playtime was playing school with an elaborate classroom set up in the basement, complete with detailed lesson plans created for imaginary pupils. The name, Bower Consulting, is a nod to Mary’s role models and all-time favorite educators, Bill and Helen Bower. Mary lost her dad in 1995 while she was still a classroom teacher. Helen is still a motivator and a delight to all who know her. A few years ago, right after her 80th birthday, she stepped in to teach fifth grade for a 7-week leave (pictured below). What Mary learned from her parents was not just about education, but about life, with a mantra of “love one another,” still ringing in her ears and heart.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Grant Writing, Implementation, and Management</image:title>
      <image:caption>Through her career, Mary has seen first hand how grant funds can make a tremendous difference for schools and organizations. Many times, smaller schools and organizations, lack the time and resources to apply for grants that can help them maximize their impact. Even larger organizations with dedicated personnel often find themselves in need of assistance with specific projects. With over 30 years of experience writing successful state, federal, and local grants, we can help you leverage funds to further your mission.</image:caption>
