Welcome to fifth grade! My name is Marcus Fischer. This will be my fifth year teaching at NRHEG. I grew up in Kasson,MN and earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary education from Winona State. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors, on the lake fishing, and relaxing with family and friends. I am a huge Minnesota sports fan! I love watching, playing, and coaching sports. I coach 8th grade baseball. I am excited to build relationships with my students and families, and to watch each of my students grow! We are going to have the best year! GO PANTHERS!

Hello! My name is John Sand. I am excited to be teaching my first year at NRHEG and beginning my 10th overall year of teaching. I grew up in Cannon Falls, MN. I attended Saint John's University and the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities Campus). I earned my teaching licensure in 2010 and a Master's degree in 2015. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my children Nora (10th Gr. Austin High School) and Michael (7th Gr. Ellis Middle School) and I love watching their sporting events and musical concerts. I also enjoy fishing, canoeing, camping, reading, and learning about animals. I am also a big Vikings fan. I am looking forward to an awesome year with my fifth grade students and families.
