"Thank you for your email. I just wanted to let you know that our daughters loved the field trip to the Ho Ho Kus brook. They learned so much, and were so interested in learning more about the brook after biking and running on the bike path for so long. I was really impressed with the amount of information they had gathered and documented from the field trip in their summary analysis. It was so interesting and fun to have them explain to me everything they had learned (and I learned quite a bit from them!)
"Thank you so much for your dedication and passion for science, and for challenging the students in such a wonderful way. Both girls have told me they are so impressed with your hard work, dedication and passion. I'm so appreciative for the wonderful teachers like you at GW that pass on their enthusiasm and knowledge to the next generation"
