“Instructor was really nice and I got the guts to tell her that I have disabilities myself and she told me strategies how to deal. And so it was nice—so I will not let it get to me when people laugh at me so I get humiliated in front of everyone.” – 5th Grade Student, November 2010
“This is the fourth year we have participated in your program. I read the books each year to my class. I think the program builds a foundation of tolerance!” 4th Grade Teacher, South Portland, November 2010
“I always enjoy watching my students struggle with the ideas you present to them. They spend the entire time thinking. I thank you for consistently doing a great job.” 5th grade teacher, South Portland, November 2010
“The instructors provided a very safe atmosphere for students to share personal information and experiences. This session provided enormous learning for my students about themselves and their peers. Thank You!” 5th Grade Teacher, South Portland, November 2010
“The instructor was fabulous! She was very engaging! Knew what 3rd graders needed to listen, focus, and be part of a discussion. The lessons were so important and that coupled with the book, Looking After Louis, our class had a wonderful discussion about tolerance & what kids need for their learning.” 3rd Grade Teacher, South Portland, November 2010
“Instructor has a natural, calm, effective manner with children. I enjoyed watching her interact. There was the perfect balance
of “sitting” and “active” activities.
The kiddos are vying for the books. Thank you so much for a rich experience. We look forward to your visit next year.”
3rd Grade Teacher, Cumberland Center, November 2010
