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

Hello and Welcome to Pod B (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 26 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 his/her next eduational endeavor.  Responsibility will be strongly encouraged of each student.  Please feel free to contact me at sware@sd162.org with questions.
