Welcome to the new school year! My name is Samantha Reily and I am one of the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teachers here at Ocean Drive Elementary! I am originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where I attended Temple University for my undergraduate degrees in Early and Elementary Education. I also attended Lasalle University in Philadelphia where I received my Master’s Degree Elementary Education and my certificate for ESOL. This is my 16th year of teaching and third year as an ESOL teacher! I honestly cannot imagine doing anything else! It is my passion!
My husband, two daughters, Shannon (age 3) and Charlotte (age 1), and I love living in Myrtle Beach! We enjoy going to the beach as much as possible to jump in the waves, build sandcastles, and fly kites! We also love to cook new recipes and try different food from around the world! So many of our families at Ocean Drive have inspired us to try and make different cuisines at home. Some of our favorites are papusas, curry, and pho!
I am so excited to start this year and learn more about you and your family! Please never hesitate to reach out to me for anything! I will do my best to help or find someone who can!
