This guy is great! The presentation was wonderful,and his Q and A was so thorough.He relates to <br /> kids really well. Send Hobey anywhere he wants to go . . . the audience loves him! <br /> Thanks for your help in getting him to us. <br /> Teacher,Knoxville,TN <br /> What Educators say: <br /> You've certainly made quite an impression on a school that has been really struggling to find/maintain its <br /> identity — I think your visit has reinvigorated the teachers and shown them that the arts can deliver joy <br /> and pride,as well as curriculum content,to their students.It was such a pleasure working with you <br /> and getting to know you this week.I look forward to having you back in the future! <br /> Courtney Reilly,Assistant Director of Cultural Arts, University of North Carolina Wilmington <br /> We LOVED this performance! The student's and staff are still talking about it! Many teachers took this <br /> opportunity to involve students in an engaging writing activity following the performance. Students were so <br /> excited to go back and write about the performance!Again,we thoroughly enjoyed the show and will <br /> request it again next year! Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity! <br /> N Sloan E.Browning,Principal,Aberdeen Primary School <br /> Hobey's show was exceptional.The kids LOVED it. Probably the best received performance in the seven years <br /> I've been here. Excellent! Informational,dazzling visuals,humor.This had it all.I would highly recommend <br /> this to any elementary program,and I'm sure he could tailor it 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 impressed with his <br /> presentation. It was creative,engaging and informative. We all learned something from those puppets! I hope <br /> he can visit again next year. Maybe we can coordinate it a science unit being taught.We appreciate the invest- <br /> ment in our school. I'm still playing with my "eyes" (Peepers Puppets)! <br /> —Dante Poole,Principal Intern,Robbins Elementary <br /> The students really enjoyed Hobey Ford's show last week. It was the first time that I had seen this performance <br /> and I thought it was great...definitely not your ordinary puppet show. <br /> —Seth Powers,Principal,West Pine Elementary School <br /> Wow! Hobey Ford was awesome and his show just knocked everyone off their feet. <br /> —Kim Sobat,Youth Program Coordinator,Arts Council of Moore County,NC <br />
