Kelly Mellgren - 5th Grade

Details: Category: Announcements Announcements; Last Updated: 22 July 2017 22 July 2017

I am originally from Lake City, Minnesota, which is a small river valley town right on the Mississippi River. Most of my family still lives in the Lake City area. I have three sisters, four brothers, and fourteen nieces and nephews. There are a lot of us, but that is exactly what I love about my family!
I graduated from Martin Luther College in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education with an emphasis in history. I have a passion for teaching, and I am so blessed to be doing what I love each and every day!

Todd Brassow - 7th & 8th Grades

Saginaw, Michigan is where I spent most of my life because my father was a pastor at St.Paul’s for 24 years. He recently accepted a call to serve as the pastor at Zion Lutheran church in East Farmington, Wisconsin. I graduated from Martin Luther College this past May with a double major in Elementary Education and Secondary Physical Education. At MLC, I was blessed to compete for four years in basketball and in track & field. I coached track & field at New Ulm Public high school for 2 years.
I am married to Brittany Brassow (Wendt) from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Brittany will be finishing up school at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, Minnesota this fall. Brittany and I love any outdoor activity that involves movement. I have passion and enthusiasm for the teaching ministry which come from some amazing role models in my life who have lived the blessings of being called workers. Brittany and I look forward to building relationships and serving the Lord with such a wonderful congregation!

Paul Kelm - 4th Grade

Details: Category: Announcements Announcements; Last Updated: 24 June 2017 24 June 2017

Hello, my name is Paul Kelm. I'll be teaching fourth grade at St. John Lutheran School beginning in 2017. My wife's name is Jennifer. Our children are Ben, Josh, and Lydia. They are 15, 13, and 11 years old.

We are excited to be starting at St. John Lutheran.

Before teaching in Redwood Falls, I taught in Milwaukee at Risen Savior Lutheran School. Ben, Josh, and Lydia went to school at Bethlehem Lutheran School in Menomonee Falls and Germantown. Mrs. Kelm was a part-time teacher there. Prior to that, we lived in Plzen, Czech Republic, where my wife, Jennifer, and I taught at Martin Luther School. All three of our children, Benjamin, Joshua, and Lydia were born in the Czech Republic.

Previous to teaching in Plzen, I taught in Gibbon, Minnesota, Tsuchiura City, Japan, and in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

From the Principal’s Desk:

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Hallelujah! What Joy these sentences give to us! I hope and pray that you and your family had a blessed Easter.

The students and teachers just finished with their Spring Break which will rejuvenate and energize our minds and bodies. This will allow us all to push ourselves and finish up the school year working as diligently as possible.

Once again St. John has hired a professional company called Prairie Fire Children’s Theatre to do our upper grade musical this year. We will be performing “Robin Hood” on April 20-21. April 20 will have a dinner served before the 6:30 p.m. show and the April 21^st show will be at 1:00 p.m. It is amazing that the team comes in to our school on Monday and by Friday they are presenting the musical to the audience. Last year we had about 350 people come to the two shows. They provide the scenery, costumes, props, make-up, and the know how! Last year was our first year using PFCT and we are looking forward to another year of learning great things from a theater group that does this for a living. Come out and enjoy one or both of the shows and come early for dinner on Friday, April 20.
