3rd Grade

Hello! My name is Cindy Rowden and I am the third grade teacher here at KCS. I began
teaching in 1987 after receiving a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Sul Ross
State University. During the time since I have taught in K, 1, 3rd and 6th. I was also a
Curriculum Specialist before our family relocated to the Dallas area.
This is my 7th year at KCS and I am most grateful to the Lord for allowing me the privilege
of teaching our sweet kids. It had been a dream of mine to be able to teach in a Christian
school and He blessed me with this most precious gift!
Children are an inspiration and I love the energy and excitement they bring to my
classroom on a daily basis! I am fascinated to watch them create, learn, apply, and find
answers to their questions and mine. Most of all, I love watching them grow in their
knowledge and love of the Lord.
I am married to my love and best friend, Mark. Mark is in law enforcement and is Police
Chief for a neighboring school district. We have been married 37 year, have 2 beautiful
boys, Chrystopher and Jonathyn, and 3 pups we love dearly.
During my free time I enjoy glamping, cooking, reading, “playing” in my plants, and crafting
when I can.
What a privilege it is to serve the Lord here at Kaufman Christian School!
