Marcela Stamulis

I came to Santa Barbara from Argentina at the end of 2000, bringing fourteen years of experience as a class teacher. I joined the Santa Barbara Waldorf School as a Spanish teacher and spent many years teaching Spanish from Early Childhood through eighth grade. During that time, I also mentored language teachers in Southern California and served as an evaluator for Spanish and German teachers in the region, while supporting many committees within our school.

In 2018 my path changed, and I took on a first grade that soon became a combined class. I have been with this group ever since, and this year is especially meaningful as I will be graduating the first half of the class I began with in 2018, while preparing to graduate the second half next year.

This year is also special for me personally. Both of my children graduated from the Santa Barbara Waldorf School, and now my grandchild has begun in the Morning Glory class. Reaching my 25th year at the school and my 39th year of teaching fills me with deep gratitude. If I could choose again, I would gladly walk this path all over
