Ms. Cecelia Costello

Kindergarten Teacher

 

Hi! My name is Cecelia Costello. I am a first-year teacher and am so excited for this school year! I graduated from the University of Kentucky in May with a BA in Elementary Education.  I moved to Dallas from Pittsburgh at the end of July, and no I have not gotten used to this heat 🙂!  When I'm not teaching, I love exploring the city, cooking, walking, and shopping!  Although I am a first-year teacher, I am excited to bring all my new ideas to the classroom! I hope to make this an exciting and memorable year for my first official Kindergarten class!
