My name is Mercedes (Sadie) Ruff. I'm 25 years old and from Holcomb, MO. I am a recent graduate from Missouri State University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. This is my second year of teaching here at Malden. I don't have any children of my own, but I do have a German Shepherd/Lab mix named Axel. In my free time I love to go to country concerts, take long road trips, and watch Netflix. Spending time with my family and friends is my absolute favorite. I am excited for another year with a great group of students! Thank you for sharing your babies with me everyday. I can't wait to watch them grow and learn!
