Hello! I'm Ms. Rachel Malinczak, a fourth grade teacher at Hayes Elementary School. I graduated from Oakland University with my Bachelors in Elementary Education and Language Arts. I got married December 2018 to my wonderful husband, Alexander. We extended our little family by adopting our puppy, Esme Opal.  I always say I have the three best occupations in the world: teacher, wife, and dog mom.  I am so excited for the upcoming school year and meeting all my students!
