Mrs. Ruscher's Rockstars

My name is Elin Ruscher and I am so excited to be apart of the 2nd-grade team at Highcroft! I earned my BA in Elementary and K-12 Special Education from Western Governors University and I have a MS in Curriculum and Instruction. I have worked in special education for many years but love teaching 2nd grade! My family and I are originally from Minnesota and made the move to North Carolina just over 6 years ago. We love the warmer weather and not freezing in the winter!

I love being in the classroom and being able to engage students in learning! Each child is capable of learning and growing and I look forward to helping your child achieve their potential in 2nd grade. I believe each student is a contributor to our classroom and together we will explore, engage in hands-on activities, and have a great year! I love reading and going on adventures with the characters in a story - I can't wait to share my love for reading!
