Brick Teacher Jill Risley 'Goes Above And Beyond Daily' For Students

BRICK, NJ — Great teachers matter. In Brick, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Jill Risley.

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

This submission comes from Jennifer Thieme, who nominated Jill Risley, of Brick:

How do you know the teacher?

My son had her for first grade and so did my nephew.

What does this person teach?

First grade

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Ms. Risley is one of the kindest humans I’ve ever met. She goes above and beyond daily for each of her students. She calls home and talks to you about what is going on. She cares about your child just as much as you do! Any child will tell you, you will have the best year if you get Ms. Risley.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

The way she cares about these kids is something you don’t see every day. The time she puts into each child is astonishing.
