Fifth Grade Teacher

Hello! My name is Samantha Holtz and I am a fifth grade teacher.  I grew up on my parent's dairy farm in Rudolph, WI (home of the cheese factory)!  I graduated from UW-Stevens Point in December of 2010 with degrees in both general education and special education.  I then became a long-term substitute in a fifth grade classroom in Wisconsin Rapids.  Finally, I was given the awesome opportunity to begin teaching fifth grade here in Amherst!  I look forward to a successful year.

I believe that a child's education lays the foundation for a successful future.  Because of this, I strive to create a classroom environment that teaches students both academic and social skills.  My goal is for students to become life-long learners so that when they leave our classroom at the end of the year, I can be confident that they are on a path toward a happy and successful life.

This website is intended to be a communication tool between parents and myself.  Please feel free to share any comments, concerns, or suggestions you have.

Thank you,

Samantha Holtz
