Mr. Marinaro was one of the most special people in the world - largely because he made everyone else feel special, each and every one. He made learning fun and I still remember his nicknames for me and all my friends. A true highlight of high school and beyond. He was always there to listen and make a joke, reminding us that there’s always the choice to laugh rather than cry. We love you.

The teacher who always believed in me and made me feel special. I will never forget my time chatting with you in the hall, warming the bench for the softball team, public speaking class, assisting in your math class for my senior project, and the video you and the kids made me on my 18th birthday. I will never forget you. Thank you for always seeing me.
