Deb McGowan knows the power of clothes.
She was among seven teachers from across the United States to win a fashion makeover this summer from Jones New York in the Classroom, which included a $1,500 clothes shopping spree in the Big Apple.

McGowan, 52, has always been a sensible dresser, but this school year, the second-grade teacher at Earl Boyles Elementary has added some pizazz to her wardrobe and to her spirit.
Not only did the makeover boost her self-confidence, but it may bolster her students’ attitudes as well.
