Teacher of the Week: Marissa Rizzo

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Marissa Rizzo works hard to teach and create wonderful memories for all of her students.

As a teacher at Walter L. Parsley Elementary school she says she realizes that her kids are giving their best every day and she likes to recognize them for that.

She gives them what she calls love notes every time she sees them doing something positive.

The notes are a bit of encouragement so the kids know she is always paying attention to their effort.

As a teacher she says her goal every day is to “leave them better than when they stepped in that morning” and to make them feel “like they can do anything”.
