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 2022-2023 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 Eastern University and coaching Division III collegiate field hockey. This is my first 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!
