Mr. Sam was an influential male role-model, caring educator and valued caregiver for my children during their time at Share and Care. His passion for teaching and educating his students in a fun learning environment was evident and my children to this day (ages 15 and 11) remember him fondly. Our family is thankful for his professional abilities and is proud of his accomplishments. He would be an asset to the SD129 community.

Throughout our undergraduate experience, it was evident that Sam is simply meant to be a teacher. He is a kind individual, generous with his time and talent, patient with his students, and a passionate educator. I am crestfallen to hear he was no longer teaching, as the field of education desperately needs more like him.

Sam Kintop is an intelligent, talented, passionate, and kind human and teacher. He has a genuine love for education! He’s made a wonderful impact on the district community he’s served for nearly a decade. He absolutely deserves the opportunity to interview for a position through school district 129. Any district would be lucky to have him!

Sam Kintop, has a strong passion for teaching and it shows through the growth of his career. I have had the pleasure of previously working with Sam. His creativity, joy and passion for children’s education is inspiring. It would be a huge loss to district 129 to loose such a compassionate person and teacher. I hope District 129 has the ability to reconsider.

Mr. Kintop has had a huge impact on my son's life and education. I believe he is a valuable asset to the children of our future, connecting education to our kids in a creative way. The impact has personally caused my son to be more focused in learning with an increased desire to learn. When you have a teacher that can make a difference in the lives our children why would you want to loose that? It not only impacts the children he has taught but the ones he could potentially teach.

Mr. Sam has been a great teacher and role model for all 3 of my kids. We first connected with him through Share and Care and have remained in touch with him throughout the years. His willingness to just hang with the kids because he really wants to and because he actually likes them and not only because he was getting paid to, speaks volumes about his character. He is a genuine individual who cares deeply about forming meaningful relationships with kids. He's been a blessing to many families over the years and has much more to offer students in this community.

All good teachers should stay

Sam is an amazing teacher and has such a passion for the kids and families he works with!!
