"Terrific performance- the older students can be a tough and discriminating audience, but you kept them mystified and entertained. Not only that, but the students were kept laughing throughout the performances. When we book performances, it's very important to us that the assemblies express the importance of books and reading, while at the same time delighting the children. It's gratifying to us when an assembly, such as yours, manages to achieve these goals. Thanks for adding your magic to our program."- Lori Goldman-Longo, Chairperson, Read-At-Home Committee, Abbey Lane ES, Levittown, NY
