I wanted to let you know that your assembly for Donnell Middle School was great. The students and staff really enjoyed it. I still remind my students in class to be encouraging and enthusiastic to one another and to remember the frog story. They all loved the pogo stick illustration-how could you not? We also have weekly manner and health tips on the morning announcements and our principal will frequently refer to you when reading one of the health tips. So, your influence is lasting. Thanks for starting our year out on such a positive inspiring note.   Becky Baratta, Teacher   Donnell Middle School
