From the time I was little, teaching has been my passion and music my love. What a joy it is to spend my mornings teaching God's little ones about His love and promises, and then spend my afternoons singing His praises with our K-Grade 5 students. To God be the glory!

    Ms. Rachel Vrudny

    Kindergarten Teacher

    My name is Rachel Vrudny. I am a 2013 graduate from Concordia University, Saint Paul, MN. I grew up in Finlayson, a small town in MN. I teach Kindergarten and love what I do.

    Some other things I like doing are any type of outdoor activity: camping, swimming, running, biking, playing catch… you name, I like it. I am a big sports person – love running, swimming, and flipping. My favorite sports teams reflect where I grew up: Vikings, Twins and the Wild. I love music, whether it is playing it or simply listening to it. My favorite Genres are Contemporary Christian and Country including artists such as: Matthew West, Christ Tomlin, Casting Crowns, Hawk Nelson, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton…. and many more. People would describe me as outgoing and energetic which is why I teach the little ones.
