“It is with a heavy heart I send this letter to all members of the community. We learned this morning that Norma Jackson an NISD teacher of 30 years has passed away.

“Norma dedicated her life to working with special education students and the impact she made in their lives will continue beyond the sadness of this moment. Mrs. Jackson is more than a teacher, she is a friend, mentor and leader in our schools and she will be missed,” stated Dr. Waters.
The letter continued we will never truly know the scope of Mrs. Jackson’s impact on our community.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
