About the Teacher
My name is Shawn Grutsch. In 2002, I graduated from East Jordan High School and attended Alma College, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education with minors in English and History in 2006. After graduating, I worked and lived in Garden City, Kansas where I taught First Grade and Upper Elementary Special Education. During this time, I completed my Masters of Science in Adaptive Special Education from Fort Hays State University in 2013. Moving back to Michigan, I taught Third Grade and Fifth Grade at Grand Rapids Ellington Academy of Arts and Technology. I have taught for thirteen years years with a devotion and heart to help children learn and succeed. My dream is to see my students create fantastic careers and lives for themselves.
On a personal level, my wife Lisa and I have been married for ten years. We have five children including Gideon, Liam, Elizabeth, Josiah, and Micah. Gideon is nine years old and loves Star Wars. Liam is seven and loves games. Ellie is four and loves the movie Frozen. Josiah is two and loves trucks. Micah is the baby and loves to wiggle.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
