Hello & welcome to 8th Grade! My name is Marissa Straccialini and I have been teaching at Bell Oaks for 15 years. I grew up in Gloucester Township, attended Bishop Eustace High School and went on to further my education at several different Universities. As an undergraduate I attended St. Joseph's University, Rowan University, and even spent a semester abroad in Rome, Italy as a student of American University. I attended graduate school at Wilmington University where I earned a Master's Degree in Education-Literacy. I currently reside in Harrison Township where I live with my husband and two children, Ava (11) & Marco (8) and our Goldendoodle, Bailey. I spend most of my spare time at a sporting event where I am either coaching my children's soccer teams or cheering from the sidelines of one of their basketball, football, or lacrosse games. In my free time I enjoy traveling, shopping, and spending time at my favorite place, the beach! I am also one of the soccer coaches here at Bell Oaks as well as the 8th grade Renaissance advisor. I am looking forward to a fun and successful year!
