Mrs Marino is an awesome teacher because she is an all around awesome human! She has the enthusiasm about learning that is infectious and has my son excited to go to school. Even when my son is having a rough days she knows how to calm him down and turn things around! She knows exactly what motives Christopher and he complete his work for the reward of a little break. She has supported him in such meaningful ways that have built his confidence and we have seen his independence grow. She has instilled the belief in Christopher that he can do hard things! She is such a blessing to her students. She advocates for Christopher and he is having a wonderful experience in middle school. Because of all the support and encouragement she provides to him every day. Mrs Marino is in contact with me daily and she keeps us up to date with Christopher's progress and any school news. She is the blueprint for everything you could want in a teacher for your child!
