Hello, my name is Samantha Bilbow and I am a first grade teacher. I have worked at Altara for 7 years where I taught 3rd grade and 1st grade. I am originally from Pennsylvania – my husband and I moved to Utah in 2017 to be closer to hiking trails, ski slopes, and other fun activities. We have two cats and a dog. I graduated from Western Governors University with a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction, went back to school and graduated from The University of Utah where I have a Masters in Culture and Society with emphasis in ESL, and am going back to school AGAIN at Southern Utah University for my Administration Leadership Certification. I love to learn and I love to read. One of my goals is to inspire my students to love learning and reading as much as I do!
