The Maries County R2 welcomes Samantha Eads as our new Title 1 teacher at Bland Middle School . Let's get know her shall we?!?
Ms. Eads attended high school in Licking, MO...a small town similar to Belle. Afterwards for college she attended Hannibal-Lagrange for 1 year, and completed the remainder of her degree at Drury University. Ms. Eads graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education. As she attended college she substitute taught in the St. James and Rolla school districts. After graduating she received a job offer at Cuba Middle School and taught 6th grade math there for 6 years.
Ms. Eads recently moved to Belle in June and already loves the small town atmosphere. It greatly reminds her of where she grew up. She and her boyfriend share three girls together ages 3, 6, and 7 years old. In her spare time she loves to spend time with family, stay active, and decorate cakes. Ms. Eads has also accepted the head coach position for high school cross country and head middle school track.
When asked about her favorite education quote she said the following, "Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be. "
We are lucky to have Ms. Eads in our middle school, and excited she chose Maries R2 as her new home. WELCOME!
