"Both teachers and students raved about the performance!… Many faculty members asked if you could come again, and I assured them you would."

Your students benefit because these programs:
- Reinforce how to handle impulsive behavior, control anger and find creative solutions to problems
- Emphasize respect for others, inclusiveness and kindness
- Cultivate trustworthiness, fairness, responsibility and citizenship
- Encourage excellence and perseverance
- Make learning fun.
- Expose children to an uncommon art form. (They haven't grown up with ventriloquists like Paul Winchell, Jimmy Nelson, Sr. Wenses, Edgar Bergen.)
- Present a role model for girls (with the exception of storytellers most solo presenters are male.)
- Peak learning retention. The puppets and their lessons are unforgettable
Your message is appropriate for all ages…I was dealing with two children who had become involved in a fight. They were able to discuss alternate ways to deal with anger that you had stressed in your presentation!
