Hello My Name Is...

Mrs. Swanson

I received degrees in Music Education and Elementary
Classroom Education from Western Washington University. My teaching career began in 1979 in the Everett School District as an Elementary Music Specialist. I also taught 3rd and 4th grade before taking 10 years off to be home with my two children. In 1996, I returned to teaching as an Elementary HiCap Specialist in the Arlington School District. For the last 4 years, I enjoyed being a Fourth Grade teacher. This school  year (2014-2015), I am excited to return to my roots as I step into the role of Elementary Music Specialist. Music is my passion and I'm excited to share that joy with the students of Pioneer Elementary. When not at school, I enjoy being with family, playing Principal Oboe with the Everett Philharmonic Orchestra, and singing in my church choir as well as a small jazz combo.
