Lolly Rogers

Lolly Rogers grew up in Florida and spent much of her time playing outdoors. Her parents moved in art and music circles, thus providing a variety of creative people for Lolly and her siblings to be around. She developed a love for art early on, and as a young teenager traded pottery and batik lessons for babysitting. Lolly was also a bookworm and thrived on academics, as well as art. She received a BA in Anthropology with a minor in Geology from Florida State University. After completing her archaeology field school in St. Augustine, she worked as an assistant registrar at Lightner Museum.

Years later, after moving to Oregon, Lolly enrolled her children in the Eugene Waldorf School, and eventually entered the Eugene Waldorf Teacher Training Program there. She has taught grades one through eight in Oregon, Washington, California, and Florida, and took shorter term positions in Alaska and the Caribbean. The high need for Waldorf teachers in the world opened doors and made it possible to travel and work in various regions. Lolly has now returned to St. Augustine to fulfill one of her dreams- to bring Waldorf Education to St. Augustine.
