Welcome to 8th Grade English/Language Arts!!!!!!!

Hello and Welcome to Team Yellow (Gifted).  My name is Samantha Ware, and I am your child's English/Language Arts Teacher.  It is a pleasure that I have your child in my 8th grade gifted E/L.A. class this school year.  I've had the privilege of being an educator for the past 23 years, and I truly adore this age group of young adults.  Junior High/Middle School is a very important time period for your child.  It is my purpose, with your support, to guide and properly prepare your child for the next eduational endeavor.  Responsibility will be strongly encouraged of each student.  Please feel free to contact me at sware@sd162.org with questions.
