Amber Waddell: 4th Grade Teacher
Hello! I am Amber Waddell and I am excited to join the Washington District 50 family! I graduated from Bradley University with a major in elementary education and special education. I have been a teacher for nine years. In my nine years of teaching, I have taught special education for five years and fourth grade for four years. I am currently enrolled at Western Illinois University completing my master's degree in curriculum and instruction. When not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Caleb, and my two daughters. Faye is two and Gabriella is three months old. We spend a lot of time outside and we enjoy baking on rainy days.
Samantha Sopko: 5th Grade Teacher
Hello! This is the start of my fifteenth year of teaching with the last ten years being at Central Intermediate School where I taught mostly fourth grade and coached volleyball. I am originally from Washington and graduated from D50 and WCHS. I have a wonderful husband Tom, one son, Tommy, who will start his 8th-grade year at Germantown Hills, 2 labs, Brutus and Bella, and one guinea pig, Chocolate. 😁 I’m looking forward to a great year and happy to be a Wildcat again!
