TESTIMONIALS
"It was a wonderful morning and I look forward to reading to the students again soon."
"The Delray Reads Day event was one of the most well organized and enjoyable events I've ever attended. From start to finish, it was well planned, directions were impeccable, information was available before it was even requested, the breakfast was not only good, but they had motivational speakers to prepare us to read to the children, and all were exceptional. We went on to the school where we were to read to the children well equipped for the task at hand. We arrived at the school, Orchard View Elementary, and the personnel were helpful and knowledgeable about where we were to go and how to find the classroom, etc. They had all of our names ready on tags and books ready to be read. Then the best part of the day — we read to the children. I admit I'm gushing, but it was just wonderful. I had about 25-30 kindergarteners and they were sweet and loving. Their teacher, Ms. Godoy, was gracious and capable, and handled the children with such care. Overall, I was so impressed by the day that I would do it again in a heartbeat — and encourage others to do it also." - Marge Williams, Plastridge Insurance Agency, Inc.
"I thought the program was wonderful. The Page Turner duo was excellent at the breakfast, and the guest speaker was very motivational."
"I enjoyed reading to the children. What imaginations! I would be interested in doing this again next year."
"The breakfast was a great blend of pep rally and useful tips for reading to groups, and engaging young listeners in thinking about the book, not just listening passively. My school, Orchard View, was well organized to receive volunteers. It was great fun!! I think this was one of the best single day volunteers events I have ever participated in. Your pre-event communications were excellent; arrangements at the high school were beyond expectations; food, hospitality, organization....great!!!"
"It was absolutely wonderful. I have already entered my name for clearance so I can participate in more activities as a volunteer."
"I will always remember this experience. Many hands were raised without fear expressing feelings about bullying, not fitting in and being kind and understanding to others that look different. The children had many questions about the story but more about me personally. I answered each one. It was a tender morning of sharing trust, caring and mutual respect. I hope the children enjoyed as much as I did. They were adorable, so alert, and their minds were like sponges.....very impressed with the questions they asked. One young boy pulled me down to his chair and gave a me a very long hug. This was a wonderful opportunity for all of us."
