Hello, Swallow Parents and Students! My name is Becky Christian and I have the pleasure of teaching 5th grade this year at Swallow School.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2008 with a Bachelors of Science in Education (1-8) and a minor in Spanish. My first teaching position brought me to Swallow School, where I taught 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades before being a stay-at-home mom. After being home with my daughters, I looked forward to getting back into teaching to continue my passion. I am beginning my 13th year of teaching this year! I am currently finishing my Masters in Teaching and Learning from Capella University with aspirations to extend my degree into Curriculum and Instruction. Being a lifelong learner has always been my belief!
In my time away from school, I love spending quality time with my family. We love spending time outdoors, playing games, reading, fishing, and cooking.
I am looking forward to starting this new year at Swallow School, getting to know your child, and making happy memories together. Let's have a positive and successful year, and I can't wait to meet you all soon!

Hello! My name is Sam Hett, and I am so excited to be part of the Swallow family!
I graduated from Viterbo University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (Pre-K- 6th) and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I was also a student athlete for the men’s basketball team at Viterbo. I spent the first year of my college career in Irvine, California, but I knew my family and friends in Wisconsin would eventually lead me back home.
I have taught kindergarten, second, third, fourth and fifth grades in Milwaukee, Waterford, Johnson Creek and Wauwatosa throughout my 20-year teaching career. I strongly value personalized learning and meeting students at their readiness levels. I prioritize helping students in managing their social emotional regulation. This provides students with the tools necessary to not only be successful in the classroom but in the community as well.
When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three young children. We spend any free time we have boating and being outdoors during Wisconsin’s warmest months. My favorite activities include attending Wisconsin sporting events and concerts. I am a huge fan of the Packers, Brewers, Badgers and Bucks, and attending Game 6 for the Bucks last year was an incredible experience.
