Please help us welcome to Owens, Anna Murray! We are so excited to have her join our team 🦅 💙 Hi Tyler ISD! My name is Anna Murray and I am so excited to be teaching first grade at Owens Elementary this year!  I am from Jacksonville, Texas, but live in Tyler with my best friend! My hobbies include playing with my sweet Schnoodle, Junie, shopping, going to church and spending time with friends and family.
