“Just wanted to say thank you for the first session- the kids were so energized and excited. Not many times you hear Grade 6 students say, ‘that was really good, thanks for organizing this,’ especially on a Monday morning!!” – A. Sieb, Bishop Roborecki School (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan)
“Thanks for everything, Marty! Everyone had nothing but huge praise for the residency and your ability to engage the students. Even reluctant writers are flourishing with this project.” -- M. Wenzel-Curtis, Rosemont School (Calgary, Alberta)
“My two grade 7 classes at A. Blair McPherson had such a blast listening to your presentation last Wednesday. The energy in the room was brimming and for a virtual presentation that says a lot about the effort you put into them.” – H. Paranich, A. Blair McPherson School (Edmonton, Alberta)
“All of the teachers have been raving about you since finishing their sessions. I am so grateful that you made this work for us. Our students had such a good laugh and learned so much. I know in my class they were saying they wish they could meet you and were asking about getting your books. I have three of them (with Kung Fu Master on its way), so they know they'll have access to those next year. Some of them have never had a live author visit, so this was such a wonderful introduction. Kim said that your in-person sessions are amazing, and I am absolutely thrilled with how you have adapted for the virtual environment!” – E. Kim, Lanor Junior Middle School (Toronto, Ontario)
