SAMANTHA CHRISTENSEN
Christensen has al-
ready proven her versatil-
ity, starting as an English
teacher and later switch-
ing to biology with the un-
expected departure of for-
mer biology teacher Levi
Collins.
This is Christensen's
first year of teaching. She
is a graduate of Black Hills
State University in South
Dakota, where she majored
in biology with a minor in
English.
She said she hopes to
provide field experiences
for her students that take

science out of the classroom
and into the real world.
"Science is everywhere,
not just in books, videos or

PowerPoint presentations,"
she said. "I hope to show
students that science is part
of their everyday lives."
Chelsie Phillips
TINA SCHENAVAR
Schenavar brings a
wealth of experience to her
new position as a special
education teacher. She
has a degree in Family
and Human Development
from Utah State Universi-
ty and received her teach-
ing credential through the
ABCTE program.
Schenavar worked as
an intensive behavioral
intervention and develop-
mental specialist in Idaho
and as a teacher at both
the elementary and high
school levels. She was also
a behavioral specialist in
the school district for five
years and worked in the
youth corrections depart-
ment for 12 years in Utah.
She said is excited to
be part of a school system
that focuses on what kids
need. She said the fund-
ing in Idaho was poor in
comparison to Wyoming
schools.
"I hope I can show
children they have a
choice," she said. "I want
to empower my students to
make the choice to become
great."
CHELSIE PHILLIPS

from the University of
Utah and her teaching de-

"Anyone can do math,
but some kids don't have
confidence," she said. "I'd
like to help them get that
confidence and then the
sky is the limit."
