Hi, my name is Crystal Gaikoski, and I am a second grade teacher at RCA. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in 2018. This is my second year teaching at RCA. I look forward to continue to teach at RCA because I love the community and classroom environment. Second grade is one of my favorite grades to teach. It is amazing to see how much students learn during the second grade! Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes: my husband and four daughters. We enjoy cooking together, Friday movie/board game nights, and swimming/being outdoors in the summer months.
