Welcome, I am Crystal Rattin. I am originally from Wisconsin and have lived in Colorado for the past 6 years.  This school year will be my 14th year of teaching and 9th year in special education. I have a bachelor's in Elementary Education from Olivet Nazarene University (Bourbonnais, IL) and a Master's in Special Education from Cardinal Stritch University (Milwaukee, WI). 

 

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my husband and my animals (2 beagles and 5 ducks). I also enjoy hiking with my dogs at Red Rocks and in Woodland Park. I have tried my hand at gardening in Colorado, but it has been tremendously difficult. Yet, I continue to try a garden. I am looking forward to a great year!
