Good Afternoon, Nick!
I just wanted to take the time to extend a huge "THANK YOU" to you for coming to our school. Your presentation was excellent, and our children were very excited going home that day. They are now even walking around saying "kangaroo" when they do not understand something that someone else says (to which all of the after-school teachers and myself are like "Oh, no!"...it has definitely become a running joke quickly. lol)! We all learned a lot from you, and the P.S. 95 school administration and parents that poked their heads in for a bit to see the show were pleased and impressed that we were able to bring you to our children here in Gravesend, Brooklyn. I personally was glad to see Warlock again (though I am super afraid of birds), we all got a kick out of Tarzan, Tinkerbell and the baby kangaroo (with her pouch and doll!) and my fifth grade student will always be astounded by the memory of holding your "hypnotized" parrot in her hand. These Coney Island kids will never be the same! As an educator, I fully appreciate how you were able to keep my energetic bunch informed, engaged and happy. I am very, very grateful for your visit to us.
I sincerely hope that you can work with another one of our after-school sites! Keep up your wonderful work as you continue to educate New Yorkers and beyond about animals from all over the world, and how to fully appreciate them!
Sincerely,
Shanelle D. Jenkins
Program Director, NIA Advantage After-School Program at P.S. 95
