It is great to be part of such a multicultural and dynamic community at
Seattle World School!  I learn from my students and colleagues everyday.
I like to help my students think like historians and share their voices
and experiences.  I partner with Seattle institutions such as Jack
Straw Productions and MOHAI to make our
learning more experiential and hands-on.  Please let me know if you have
ideas for future class projects!

Greetings World School Families,

I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach your children. I’ve taught PE and health for 15 years at SWS.  The World cultures and experiences that each students brings to this school is tremendous and amazing. There is no other school like it in the city. Or even the state of Washington for that matter. My goal is to get students interested in physical and lifetime fitness. I want to give them the tools to understand how to take care of themselves physically and emotionally. My hope is that I can create a fun learning environment and the students will carry the love of fitness and exercising into their adulthood ages.

Education:

M.ED -  Washington State University – Administrative Credential; BA Eastern Washington University – Emphasis is Physical Education and Health.

My name is Annika Sgambelluri and I have been teaching Multilingual Learners in Seattle Public Schools since 2011.  I am a native Washingtonian and attended Western Washington University for my undergraduate degree and the University of Washington for my Masters in Teaching.  Prior to teaching, I worked in non-profit administration at the UW.  I love to travel with my family, including my two kids, and learn about all the amazing cultures in the world. I’ve been to over 25 different countries and four continents. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me planning my next trip, learning Spanish, running around Green Lake, or hiking in our amazing Pacific Northwest mountains.

Eric has been teaching PE at Lawton since 2021. His goal is to help each student build confidence, develop skills, learn fitness concepts, and have fun through physical activity. Eric’s favorite physical activities include biking, soccer, and pickleball.
