"Your performance on 'The Bully And The Purple Pants' was excellent.  Your songs, stories, and interactive activities kept all students from Kindergarten to Grade 8 engaged for the entire hour and in a fun and meaningful way, you provided them with strategies for dealing with bullying. I particularly liked the way you shared personal stories with the intermediate students so that they received key messages about verbal and physical bullying. Thanks again for a wonderful presentation!"
