Hello!  My name is Stephanie Sampson.  I am one of the Art/Business teachers at East Middle School in the 2022/2023 school year.  I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato with a degree in Art Education.  I also have my Masters in Educational Technology from MSU, Mankato!  This is my 10th year teaching and 8th year in the district, I have taught at East, West, Jackson, and Eagle Creek in Shakopee in the past.  

This year, I am excited to be able to teach some of my favorite classes, and revisit some classes I have not taught in a while.  Over the course of the year, I will be teaching: 

*the 7/8 Arts and Communication Elective Sculpt It

*the 7/8 Arts and Communication Elective Saber Animation and Video

*the 7/8 Arts and Communication Elective Digital Art

*the 7th grade Business and Entrepreneurship Gateway Think Tank

 It has been exciting teaching a combination of Art and Business classes these last few years. and I am looking froward to seeing all the creativity in this upcoming year!
