Hi, my name is Samantha Campbell, and I am the 5th grade teacher here at CELA. I feel so blessed to be part of the CELA family!
Since a young age, I have always had a love for Jesus and learning. It makes me so happy to be able to share these loves with students on a daily basis.
I started my journey to become a teacher at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Middle Childhood/Early Adolescent Education and a minor in Adaptive Education. During my time in college, I also earned a certificate in Urban Education. After graduating, I taught 4th and 5th grade in Catholic schools in Milwaukee.
In addition to teaching, I have been involved in many ministries throughout the years. I have been a middle school youth group leader and Sunday school director. I also have organized, led, and participated in various mission trips and Christian camps.
I am married to my wonderful husband Paul, who is a web developer. In my free time I like to spend time with loved ones, travel, golf, camp and backpack, try new restaurants and foods, cook, read children’s literature, and play games.
A fun fact about me is that I even wrote my own children’s book, which I hope to get published one day.
