Eugene Waldorf School

Faculty Profiles

  • Robyn Mundrick, Kindergarten Assistant Teacher

    Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, Susquehanna River, and rolling farm land, Robin enjoyed a sweet, simple and dreamy childhood in the small town of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. She grew up in her mother’s childhood home with a community that knew and looked out for one another. After traveling to Greece in twelfth grade she was awestruck by how different and beautiful the land and people could be.  Wonder stirred in her and she set off in her Volkswagen van to meet the adventures that awaited… miraculous!!!
        Robin has lived in Eugene off and on for the last twelve years, where the adventure continues. Her son Elijah was born near Blue River in 1998. She graduated from the Teacher Education program in 2007 and is excited and inspired to grow, learn and share her joy with the children. 

  • Marion Aragon-Herbert, Rainbow Bridge Parent-Child Class Teacher

    Marion grew up in southwest Germany, not far from Stuttgart where the first Waldorf School was founded (and is still flourishing).  Surrounded by a large and close-knit family, Marion is the oldest of five siblings as well as numerous cousins, and enjoyed taking care of little ones.
    In her early twenties, Marion went to live in France, mainly in Paris, to connect with the French side of her ancestry and to study the language.  Carried by the same quest for adventure she moved to America in the late 1970’s, and after a brief stopover in California, happily settled in Ashland, Oregon.  There she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art with a minor in French. In Ashland, Marion met her husband, Tim.  When their oldest child was born, Marion remembered Waldorf education, made a connection with the Waldorf School of the Rogue Valley and began to study anthroposophy.
    In 1993 her whole family moved to Eugene where Marion completed the Eugene Waldorf Teacher Education Program (with an emphasis on early childhood education) and taught German at EWS.  Since 1998, Marion has been happy to teach the Rainbow Bridge classes while raising her three children.

  • Allyson Anthony, Kindergarten Teacher

    Allyson spent her childhood hiking, climbing, and skiing in the mountains outside of Denver, Colorado, with her younger brother.  Her love for the outdoors inspired her to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Outdoor Education and Recreation from Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado.  It was here in the heart of the Rockies where her two children, Haegen and Maya, were born.
    Allyson completed Waldorf Teacher Education in Eugene in 2001.  She enjoys sharing in the awe and wonder that is the breath of the kindergarten.

  • Judi Lamb, Preschool Teacher

    Judi was born and raised in Colorado, and moved to Oregon at age 19.  She graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in graphic design.  She moved to Portland as a freelance designer where she met her husband, Brian, and had their first three children, then moved back to Eugene where their fourth child was born. They have four Eugene Waldorf school graduates in the family.

  • Marie-Christine Lhomond, Preschool Teacher

    Marie Christine was born in France, the oldest in a family of four children. She spent a happy childhood in different parts of France and in North Africa, mostly in semi-rural areas. After graduating from the Institute of Social Work in Paris, Marie Christine worked as a social worker with an MSW in Chateauroux (France) where she met with people of all walks of life, and created a school for illiterate women from Maghreb and Turkey. She also studied and practices natural healing and macrobiotics.
    Now a many year resident of Oregon, she has raised four healthy children who all went to Waldorf schools.  Prior to moving to Eugene, for three years Marie Christine had opened her home to young children in her “Waldorf-inspired” play group, and then became the assistant to one of the kindergarten teachers in the Ashland Waldorf School. During her two years in the Teacher Education Program in Eugene, Marie Christine worked as the after school care provider for the kindergarten children, and was an assistant to Ingeborg Schipull. She loves sharing the joy-filled life of the kindergarten with parents and young children.

  • Kathy Reardon, Kindergarten Assistant Teacher

    Kathy grew up on the shores of Lake Ontario in Rochester, NY, but after college moved to Corvallis, Oregon, a place she called home for 23 years.  There she raised five children.  When her youngest two started school, she began the Eugene Teacher Education Program while working at the Corvallis Waldorf School. There she was deeply entrenched in the growing of a new school, and treasures all the colleagues, parents, teachers, and friends who came into her life through that work.  A few years ago she married Shawn Lockery, and moved to Eugene, where she finds her time is devoted to blending families and continuing her work in the kindergarten, continuing also to work out of anthroposophy.

  • Bonnie Stambaugh, Kindergarten Teacher

    Bonnie was born in Seattle, Washington.  Being the middle child with two older sisters and two younger brothers, she learned early on the art of listening and the challenges of teaching.  Her family moved to Chinook at the mouth of the Columbia River when she was 12 years old.  Growing up at the beach, she came to love her alone time with the big sky, bare feet, and even a good strong storm once in a while. She fished commercially for five years and learned to respect tides, channels, and big ships!
    As an exchange student in college, she went to Norway for a year where she discovered her love for weaving. She returned and continued her studies, ending up in Eugene at the University of Oregon Fibers Program. For the next two years she spent her time juggling the U of O studies with the Waldorf Teacher Education, and with her son, Ponce.  Bonnie completed both programs and went to Breitenbush Hot Springs to begin a small school for the community children.  After a few years it was time for her son to have his own teacher, so they moved back to Eugene where she joined the faculty at the Eugene Waldorf School.
