Where School Becomes Family

Welcome to 5th grade!  My name is Samantha Bodo and I am so excited to be your child's teacher for the 2024-2025 school year!

Here is just a little information about me, I am from Warrington, PA. I was a Division I Field Hockey player and received my Bachelors degree in Biology minior in Psychology from Northeastern University. I am completing my Masters degree in Education from Holy  Family University and coaching Division III collegiate field hockey. This is my third year teaching 5th grade here at Saint Mark School and I could not be happier.

I'm so thrilled to be your child's teacher. This school year will be filled with so much learning, adventure and lots of fun!
