Mrs. Samela is a new special education teacher at Law this year. 

Samela got her Masters in Early Childhood Education at Eastern Connecticut State University. She then decided she wanted to teach older kids and got her Bachelors in Special Education at Fairfield University. 

“I am really looking forward to meeting new people at Law,” Samela said. “I can’t wait to go to a football game.”

Samela has been teaching for eight years and taught at Harborside Middle School last year. 

Samela’s interests are her six-week-old son and photography. She loves taking pictures of her son.

“I am on maternity leave until October so I have not taught yet this year, but I’m looking forward to meeting my students and seeing what they have started learning!,” Samela said.
