Hello! Welcome to First Grade! My name is Kristin Ratkowksi, formerly known to the Whittier community as Miss Gabriel. I am originally from Athens, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Language Arts. I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership at Hood College. This is my fourth year at Whittier Elementary School and feel truly blessed to be working with such an amazing staff!
When I am not attending to my twenty two little darlings I enjoy relaxing at the beach, going to Penn State football games and spending time with my husband Greg, my loving family and friends.
If it can happen in our dreams, it can happen in a classroom
