Teacher Spotlight: Holtsville Teacher 'Runs Tight, Loving Ship'

HOLTSVILLE, NY — Great teachers matter.

In Holtsville, we're fortunate to have teachers like Lisa Ranieri.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Amanda Tirelli who nominated Lisa Ranieri of Holtsville.

How do you know the teacher?
She was my daughter's Kindergarten teacher and now my sons.

What does this person teach?
Kindergarten

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?
Mrs. Raineri has a heart of gold. It’s never easy for parents the first year a child goes to school. Lisa has always made all parents know that their children will always be loved and well taken care of. My daughter struggled with anxiety and had a hard time getting through schoolwork. Lisa did not give up on my daughter and helped guide me when it came to homework.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?
Like she always says she runs a tight, loving ship.
