Departing Teachers
We’d like to honor those who have been with us this year, but are moving on to other ventures in life. They have devoted their skills and love for teaching, but more importantly their steadfast love for our students. We wish them all the best as they transition.
Molly Cherney: Molly led our woodworking program this year with grace and enthusiasm! We are grateful for her time and knowledge that she brought to leading incredible project with all our grades students. Her adaptability and kindness will be missed on campus. Thank you Molly for all you have given to our school this year!
Daisy Hargrave: Daisy was this year’s sixth grade class teacher. She stepped into a new role in Waldorf education as a class teacher. Daisy’s passion and enthusiasm, particularly for math and science was a light in the sixth grade room this year. Thank you Daisy for your time and dedication to our school this year.
Matt Johnson: Matt has been a part of WSRF for twenty years. He has been in just about every role and has devoted much of his life to this education and our school. Matt has always been willing to take on any need that the school has had, including stepping in as class teacher several times. Matt is a skilled math teacher, but also very skilled in the arts. We wish Matt a smooth transition into the next phase of life. Thank you, Matt for all that you have offered the school.
