Hi! My name is Kim Grutsch. I am the Richfield Campus K-5 Literacy Specialist. I LOVE reading and I love teaching children how to read! I have been with Seven Hills Preparatory Academy since 2010. I was a first grade teacher at Seven Hills before moving into this position. Prior to joining the awesome team at SHPA, my husband and I taught internationally. We taught in Honduras and China. We had a great time traveling and learning about some other places in the world!
My husband is also at SHPA! He is the Assistant Principal at the Richfield Campus. We have a son named Freddie and a daughter named Ruby. In our free time we like to hang out with family, read, play outside, go camping and dream about traveling again.
I can't wait to see what the students will accomplish this year. They have already learned so much! If you have any questions or need to talk with me please call 612-314-7600 or email kgrutsch@shpamn.org anytime!
Hello! My name is Hadley Sayotovich (say-ah-toe-vich), and I am THRILLED to be joining the Math and Literacy Interventionist team this year! I have taught 2nd grade for the past eight years here at Seven Hills Preparatory Academy. I grew up in Minnesota and live in Roseville with my husband Danny, our two dogs Wylie and Scoobert, and our two cats Fergus and Charlie. I earned my undergraduate degree from Gustavus Adolphus College and my Master’s in Education from the University of St. Thomas. I absolutely love teaching and supporting students as they grow and learn, and I’m excited for a wonderful year ahead!
