Mrs. Samantha Widder

Education: I received my dual Bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Special education with a minor in Middle Level education, and my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction at The College of St. Rose in Albany, NY. I have been teaching for over 8 years in grades K through 8.

A little bit about me: I love spending time outdoors with my family, going for walks or runs, and reading. I was born and raised in New York, where I met my husband (a Madison native), Ben. After living in New York and New Jersey, we moved to Madison in 2021. Together, we have two sons, Noah and Hart, who both attend Blessed Sacrament. Noah is in first grade and Hart is in Montessori. 

Why I'm a teacher: Teaching has always been my passion and I believe in the power of education. Through my teaching, I want to help all students feel confident in their learning experience. I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the Blessed Sacrament community.
