First Grade Teachers

Mrs Olson

Hello! I have been teaching at Good Shepherd for 2 years. I feel truly blessed to be apart of such an amazing faith filled community. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education from The College of Saint Benedict. I live in Eagan with my husband Kyle. I enjoy running, cooking, reading, being outside, and spending time with family and friends.

Mrs. Vanasse

Greetings! I started my teaching career here at Good Shepherd the very first year of the merger between Good Shepherd and Holy Family parishes. This is my 27th year of teaching at Good Shepherd. However, I have been teaching for a total of 33 years. I love our Good Shepherd community and am so blessed to teach where we can lift each other up in prayer. I am equally blessed by the many lessons I am taught each year by the first graders as we grow in our faith in God.

I live with my husband, Greg, in Delano. Our children are all grown and living in fun places for us to visit. We currently have 10 grandchildren we enjoy immensely. I enjoy reading, hiking, bible study, traveling, time in the Boundary Waters, and spending time with family.
