“Thank you for your terrific performance of ‘Rainforest Legends’. Several of the teachers stopped me during the day to add their compliments. What a great way for them to kick off their unit of the rainforest! My own first grader reported that some of her classmates were still singing some of your songs at the end of the school day – verification that they were paying attention and absorbing the material. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge about the rainforest so passionately!” -Ellen Kassarba, PTO Belmont, MA
