Hi! My name is Lori Ratkovec. I am a graduate of Concordia University Wisconsin where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Lutheran Elementary Education and two minors in Spanish and Theology.I am incredibly grateful to be a part of the Concordia Lutheran School family! Here, God has blessed me with the opportunity to help His children grow in their knowledge and faith! In the 1st grade classroom, my goal is for children to grow in their understanding and enhance their skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. Most importantly, I hope that my students learn more about the Word of God and all that it teaches us as children of God!Last November, I married my high school sweetheart! We made a big change by moving out of our hometown and into a house we purchased in Mount Pleasant. My husband and I have been busy working on many projects around our new home! We continue to be very excited to see what God has planned for the two of us.In my spare time, I enjoy camping, walking my dog, and spending time outdoors with my family!
