Arts in Education Grant—Spring 2012 McDougle Elementary School PTA <br /> What Educators say about <br /> Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets <br /> You're certainly made quite an impression on a school that has been really struggling to <br /> find f maintain its identity —I think your visit has reinvigorated the teachers and shown them <br /> that the arts can deliver joy and pride, as well as curriculum content, to their students. It was <br /> such a pleasure working with you and getting to know you this week, I look forward to <br /> having you hack in the future! <br /> Courtney Reilly,Assistant Director of Cultural Arts, Uni.versitil of North Carolina <br /> WT llnington <br /> We LOVED this performance! The student's and staff are still talking about it! Many teachers <br /> took this opportunity to involve students in an engaging writing activity following the <br /> performance. Students were so excited to go rack and write about the performance! Again, we <br /> thoroughly enjoyed the show and will request it again next year! Thank you so much for this <br /> wonderful opportunity! <br /> Sloan E. Browning,Principal,Aberdeen Primary School <br /> Hobey's show was exceptional.The kids LOVED it. Probably the hest received performance in <br /> the seven years I've been here.Excellent!Informational, dazzling visuals,humor.This had it <br /> all. I wmild highly recommend this to any elementary program, and I'm sure he could tailor it <br /> to older groups, too.GREAT! <br /> Jay St.John,Headmaster,Episcopal Day School <br /> Thank you for sending Mr Ford to spend time at our school. The staff and students were <br /> impressed with his presentation. It was creative,engaging and informative. We all learned <br /> something from those puppets! I hope he can visit again next year. Maybe we can coordinate <br /> it a science unit being taught.We appreciate the investment in our school. I'm still playing <br /> with my "eves"{Peepers Puppets)! <br /> Dante Poole,Principal Intern,Robbins Elementary <br /> The students really enjoyed Hobey Ford's show last week.
