What Rich Schellhas will remember about Marisa:
"How extraordinarily fortunate we have been to have a teacher like Marisa, a unique soul who has fulfilled two exemplary careers at GA – first as a Kindergarten teacher and then as the inaugural teacher for our 较低的学校 Spanish program. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Marisa’s Spanish classes, and I have always delighted in her energy, wonderfully strong language teaching skills, and her desire to share her culture and the culture of the Spanish-speaking world with our students. Marisa has been a pioneer in many ways at the Academy, 我会很怀念她的厚颜无耻, 她的勇气, 她对教学的热情, 以及她对我们事业的奉献."
