"I
just received a note from our principal. She absolutely loved the
performance! Our parents were asking where in the world I found a
program like this. They could not believe it. Thank you so much. I
will contact you shortly about scheduling again for April 2012,"Jen Bagliavio, Literacy Specialist, South School, New Canaan CT
"Thank you for
visiting South School. We were all mesmerized by your literary
performance. You should have seen the looks on the children's (and
parents) faces. It was amazing. Plus, I had a great time as your light
controller,"Pr. Rocco, South School, New Canaan, CT
"Joe,
every teacher and educational performer in this country wishes they had
your ability to capture the undivided attention and imagination of the children. It
was truly remarkable to watch,"Peter Furness, Teacher, Chaffee School, Newington CT
“What a performance! I’m so happy.
I have been scheduling enrichment programs for years. Huga Tuga Reading Rocks Live was everything I
ever hoped for but never thought I would ever find,”
Tracy DeCosta, PTO, Ryerson School, Madison, CT
"My
daughter came home after the performance with her Huga Tuga books, she
was so excited! She asked if the blue Sea Monster could come live with
us with his stories. How could I say no to a kid who is so fired up
about reading," Carolyn Leon, Parent, Lordship School - Stratford, CT
Before:
"I called Clintonville School and the office staff said your show was,
and I quote, "A pep rally for reading!" I love that description! Please pencil me in for next year....I am so looking forward to working with you," Tara Jones, Reading Consultant, Webb School, Wethersfield CT
After:
"Joe, I have never met anyone (in my entire teaching career) who could
capture the attention and imagination of the children like you. The
pre-visit was beyond anything I ever expected. As for the actual
performance - Wow! I loved it! Loved it!! LOVED IT!!! I designed a
whole showcase with pictures from the performance. The children can't
stop talking about the experience,"Tara Jones, Reading Consultant, Webb School, Wethersfield CT
"Because teachers and parent organization members (like yourself) asked for "something special" for their children. You
wanted an enrichment experience that went above and beyond the routine,
overly priced, far from age appropriate and mundane author
visit/literary programs that were available. "Our children deserve better. They shouldn't have to settle for less".
Over the past ten years - Huga Tuga Reading Rocks Live
- has helped nearly 1/4 of a million teachers and parents get their
children to realize their full creative potential through the magic of
reading. If your school is looking for "something special"
- an experience that is about the children and for the children -
please give me a call," Joe Shandrowski, Author/Performer
