Welcome to Third Grade! The best grade, and the last of the primary grades! My name is Samantha Rentz and this is my third year at SS Simon and Jude. It is my fifth year as an educator, and I am very excited to teach my favorite grade! I graduated from Penn State with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood and Adolescent Education. I am certified in grades PreK-4th. I attended Catholic school and I love incorporating my faith into my teaching.
