To the Riznik Family

Mrs. Riznik was my favorite 6th grade teacher at Cedarbrook. She always encouraged me to be hard working and to maintain good character. Absolutely one of the
best teachers I had in elementary
school. Thank you Mrs. Riznik for
your dedication in making sure
your students were ready for Hubbard Middle School with a, " Can Do " attitude. Rest Well

I have always wondered about my FAVORITE teacher. I wish I could have seen her before she passed. I had her for my 6th grade teacher in 1977. The very best teacher ever! She had such an impact in my life. I loved her so very much. She also had my younger sisters in 1979 and 1980. R I P Mrs. Riznik. You will never be forgotten, love, Kimberly Jarrell, Draughn.

To the Riznik family, I am so sorry for your loss. Ms Riznik was one of my most memorable favorite 6th grade teachers. A few things that are most memorable were her little skip sneakers, her love for airplanes, teaching us all about the Wright Brothers, awarding us with "Smarties" whenever we did well on spelling tests and teaching us what the word "Irrelevant"meant . She used that always when you asked to use the bathroom in the middle of a lesson. I remember her as an awesome teacher and a savvy energetic woman! Rest well.
