I grew up and currently live in the Bethesda area. Some of my interests include international travel, the beach, nutrition and wellness, pickleball, dodgeball, and working out at the gym. I am excited to meet my third-grade students and for an outstanding year of learning. |

Sami Monarch, 3rd grade teacher I am from Rockville, MD and am an MCPS grad! I earned my bachelor's degree in early childhood education from Penn State. I’ve taught kindergarten and first grade before making this jump to 3rd! Some of my favorites include building Legos, going to the beach, hanging out with friends and family, or playing with my dogs, Chip and Dale. I can’t wait to meet all my new students and have a fun, fantastic year together! |
