Subject: San Francisco Waldorf School

 

Dear Robin,

 

This is Tiffany Russey, I studied at Taruna in 1999 and am currently the Therapeutic Eurythmist at San Francisco Waldorf School. We find ourselves with a beautiful class of 24 1st Graders who are still looking for their teacher, and we are spreading our net far and wide, looking for someone who is fully trained and interested in joining our Faculty. If anyone comes to mind, whether they are a brand new teacher or someone with experience please give them my contact information or they can apply directly to Jamie Lloyd. 

 

jlloyd@sfwaldorf.org

 

We of course prefer someone who is enthusiastic about taking a class for all eight years, but as we are already in June and school begins on the 26th of August, we are also open to someone coming out of retirement or other activities to take the class for one year only. 

 I hope you are well Robin, I have so many fond memories of Taruna College. It is a really special place!
I would love to hear your news. Warm greetings from San Francisco,

Tiffany + 1 628 280 9796
