• My name is Christine Samuel and I am one of the 4th grade teachers at Hillside! This will be my third year at Hillside and my 11th year of teaching. Before coming to Hillside, I worked as a 5th grade teacher in NYC. I absolutely love teaching 4th grade. It is a special year filled with new opportunities, such as student council, newspaper club, safety patrol, and more! Get ready for all the fun and learning this year has to offer.
