“The students continued to sing and talk about your stories for days after your visit, as did the teachers.” Dana M. Desgranges, Oakwood Elementary School “What a super Writing Program! You brought it to life and sparked some writing fires. Do come back.” Lynn Gibson, Teacher, Hastings Middle School “Jenifer’s workshop was all that we’d hoped for. Our staff came away with simple techniques that they could use to incorporate Storytelling in other (library) programs with a new found enthusiasm and comfort level.” Cheryl Garrison, Kent District Library “She definitely is a ‘storyteller extraordinaire!’ She captured the imagination of both young and ‘more seasoned’ alike. The art and tradition of oral storytelling is fading – and what a shame. Ms. Strauss is definitely passing on the ‘spirit’/culture of our ancestors.” M.R. Gillooly, Principal, South Boardman Elementary School “The children and adults were thrilled with your performance and we’ve been talking about it ever since. We’re eager to have you return.” Ruth Steele, Librarian, Rawson Memorial Library “Though I had a small mountain of paperwork back in my office, I found myself transported to the bubbling waters of Indian Lake and spent thirty eerie minutes in the darkness of a Northern Michigan summer’s night. Thank you for the mystery and the adventures of it all.” George Lee, Principal, Gilkey Elementary School “Thank you for visiting Daycroft and bring such enriching stories to our students. They were all gushing about you for th next week.” Lissa Main, Media Specialist, Daycroft Montessori School
