Animal Adventures - Testimonials

"Just a quick note to say Thank-you for the two wonderful shows you put on for us last week. You and Terri really worked well together and truly fascinated the children! We, as teachers were very pleased with all you did (I've never seen the children's attention span last more than 5 minutes!). I look forward to having you back in the future and will definitely pass the word around on what a terrific job you guys did!" ... J. Biondo, Groton Community School, Inc.

"We at the Lighthouse School, hope all is well since your visit recently. The Animal Adventure was a huge success for the students and staff. Everyone agreed that it was one of the highlights for the year and something most of our student would not otherwise have had the opportunity to experience. As you may already know from talking with Lori, our students come to the Lighthouse School for many reasons. When someone like yourself takes the time to explain things to them in a clear and caring way, it means to them that people think they are special. So often these children are hurt or disappointed in their interactions with people. Your "Animal Adventure" gave them a tremendously positive experience that they will remember for a long time. Jack and Lori were also a joy to see working with the kids. Your family works very well together and as a result brought a lot of happiness to our family at Lighthouse School. We look forward to working with you again in the future and wish the world of health and happiness to you and your special animals." ... D. Orlando, Supervisor for 200 Cluster Services.

"On behalf of the children and mothers of Rosie's Place, I wanted to thank you very much for your time and animals you donated on Oct. 27, 2000. Many of the staff as well as mothers and their children approached me with excitement over the many different animals that attended. The children were just fascinated. With your help it was possible to bring animals into Rosie's Place that the children probably otherwise would not have seen. All the children as well as myself would like to thank you for the kindness and concern for others you have shown for others. It is nice to know we have your support." ... G. Padget, Childworks Coordintor, Rosie's Place.

"Just a note of thanks for entertaining our children recently. Both staff and students alike were singing your praises and are eagerly awaiting a return visit. For the second year running, your program was both entertaining and informative. Our school received many calls from parents indicating their child's positive experience. The program was appropriate for our whole school population and enjoyed by youngsters as well as fourth graders. The hands on portion of the presentation are always a big hit...especially the "Boa". Best of luck with your future plans and we hope to have you return again soon." ... G. Paul, Principal of Louise Davy Trahan School.

"Thank you so much for your entertaining visit to Concord Academy Summer Camp. The campers had an excellent time, and talked about it for the rest of the week. We hope to have you come visit again next summer!"... S. Eustace, Camp Director / -Concord Academy Summer Camp.

"On behalf of the Greenwood-Yeuell Parent/Teacher Organization, I would like to thank you for visiting our school and introducing our students to animals around the world. From hedgehogs to chinchillas to boa constrictors and alligators, every animal you brought drew "wows" from the audience. Your program was extremely well received by students and teachers and has been requested for a repeat performance. One teacher wrote me a personal note in which she said, "Thank you for bringing Animal Adventures to our school. The children loved this show. We talked about it all afternoon. I would love to see this show repeated!" Throughout your presentation it was clear that you not only love your animals but you also love what you do. Your program was both educational and entertaining and it left a lasting impression on both students and teachers. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Greenwood Yeuell school in the future. Again, many thanks for a job well done!" ... C. Urbonas Cultural Arts Coordinator. Greenwood and Yeuell Elementary Schools.
