Notable Quotables
“They were so well-mannered and engaged, and asked really good questions. I just really enjoyed myself, and it was fun being around kindergartners. Last year I read to 5th graders, and their vocabulary really intimidated me.”

Helen Gao, Union Tribune reporter, at Penn Elementary School on Read Across America Day


“Thank you! What a tremendous experience I had at a remarkable school. The principal and staff were so impressive with such a passion to create an excellent learning environment for the students.”

“Outstanding experience. Extremely well-run and cohesive school. The principal’s passion for her job, students and parents is reflected and evident in the respect and love her staff, parents and students so readily exhibited.”

“Enlightened! One of the most rewarding experiences I have ever engaged in. I would like to participate again in the future. Thanks for the opportunity.”
