Benji Radtke

Welcome to Mr. Radtke’s 4th grade class.  We are looking forward to another great year here at Alpine Elementary!  To begin, I’d like to tell you a little about myself. I was born and raised in Fort Collins, I have traveled to many countries including Uganda, Rwanda, England, France, Germany, Taiwan, China, and more, but can’t imagine living in a more incredible place than along the foothills of Colorado.  I performed several jobs before becoming a teacher, including painting, management, lift operator, assembly line manager, and I am also a published author of poetry and short stories.  I have been married for 20 years, and have two daughters ages 16 and 21, and a one year old grandson.  I have taught both 3rd and 5th grade in Fort Collins and at Alpine.  I am extremely excited to begin the year, and look forward to the unique curriculum your child and I will be venturing through!
