Educators Sing the Praises of David Moreland’s Reading Shows:
|
“Teachers raved … and students were excited about challenging themselves to read more. When students were asked if they liked reading, one replied, ‘I do now!’”
Jonna Johnson Principal Mott Road Elementary Fayetteville, NY “A great kick off to our RIOT (Reading Instead Of Television) program. (It was) engaging and motivating for the students. Teachers… loved it -- they were excited how you motivated (the students).” Eileen Lux Principal Fayetteville Elementary School Fayetteville, NY “The teachers all loved the program. I received so many emails yesterday and today about how happy they were with you.” Loryn Petrik PTA Vice President Stonehedge Elementary School Camillus, NY "(An) entertaining and engaging way to celebrate reading. We love how you featured our school library books (and) got our kids excited about reading!" Becky Thornton & Stacy Wagner Title One Reading Teachers Lynch Bustin Elementary Athens, PA “One of the best we have ever had. His shows are great, the kids love them, and...we had excellent parent reviews.” Donna Thrush Title One Reading Specialist SRU Elementary Athens, PA “Fantastic! The kids and parents were completely entertained!” Mimi Bogdan PTO President St. Louis School Pittsford, NY “Wonderful! The teachers all felt that the program was spot on. If you really want something to grab your children’s attention, THIS would the perfect way!” Renee Daniels, PTA Secretary Gen. Wm. Floyd Elem. Sch. Holland Patent, NY We were so happy with your show here at Greater Plains! Loved the way you did your homework and incorporated our school /staff into the show, the children were excited and they were LAUGHING which is so nice to see. We hope to have you back in the fall for another program. Kimberly Baskin Teacher Greater Plains Elementary School Just wonderful! A total joy to work with and … you entertain everyone! Teachers loved the … book promotion and the connection you made with the local library. We need to have you return to Towanda! Karen Beirne-Getz Literacy Coach Towanda Area School District Perfect! You make a great difference in children and their love of reading. You are an awesome person to do business with. Kids and teachers loved you as always (and) you are welcome at Franklin anytime! Anne Burgin Franklin Central School A huge hit! Daniel Breiman, Principal Belle Sherman Elementary The teachers on the committee were thrilled with the performances...and agreed that it was a great kick off for PARP. The students were engaged the entire performance. (Moreland is) punctual, professional, thoughtful, and best of all...fun! Rebecca McClain, PTA President Van Buren Elementary School “A masterful job of infusing our PARP program in to the shows. Kids and staff had a great time.” Chris Riley, Asst. Prin. Lowville Acad., Lowville, NY Our kids — and adults — are still talking about him! We always get our best turnouts for Moreland. David is totally on top of things — emails and phone confirmations are well in advance of the shows (which are greatly appreciated!!)… press releases are great. Kathy Smith Branch Head Mumford Library An absolute professional. Well advanced, well executed, and well followed up. If all performers were as well organized, and as professional, programming would be easy indeed. Karl Wasmuth Hazard Branch Library A laughing good time. Parents say this was the best performance ever. (They) love how David interacts with the children. He promotes library events, handles the children very well and has the funniest jokes. We hope to have David Moreland back to visit Geneva Public Library, again, again and again! Tanya Thompson Geneva Free Library An excellent show — skilled, funny, and so wonderfully intertwined with libraries and reading. One of the largest crowds we’ve had for a children’s program. We hope to see you again, soon. Karl Wasmuth Hazard Branch Library |
It was a large crowd for us and everyone really enjoyed the show. Very interactive and energetic (we love that!)
Kathy Smith, Branch Head Mumford Branch Library Absolutely wonderful! One of the top performances we have had in several years. We had a great turnout — about double the…usual for this type of event. The adults enjoyed it as much as the children. I was especially pleased with your efforts to personalize the performance by frequent use of the library name, staff names, and (by) promoting reading. Laurie Newell Library Manager Bloomfield Public Library What a great performance! I thoroughly enjoyed it and the children had a rollicking good time! Lorie Brown, Consultant Youth Services/Interlibrary Loan Southern Tier Library System …Outstanding. In my 18 years with the library your act has got to be one of the best I have seen. Kathy Morris Director Fairmount Community Library It is imperative to book Moreland the Magician! It was definitely the best program (our library) had all summer. The kids loved the interaction. The(camp)leader who brought the kids in asked if we could have Moreland back next year. Amanda Travis Northeast Community Center Library, Syracuse Absolutely fabulous! I loved the way you wove in the theme, specific books, reading, visiting the library, etc. into the fun. The interaction with the audience kept the children and adults riveted. I would highly recommend this show to any public or school librarian. Their children would love it. Joanne Teska White Branch Library Syracuse Wonderful! Well worth the money. I personally laughed almost the entire show. Sue McConnell Outreach Coordinator Southeast Steuben County Library One of the best shows we’ve had. I’d highly recommend it. The show drew a great crowd — the most for any program this summer. We had a couple kids get cards that night and a couple signed up for summer reading club (and)kids were still coming in 2 days later looking for books about magic. Holly Hart Onondaga Free Library Fabulous. You do keep getting better and better, and I always recommend you. You are one of the few performers we had that really hones in on the fun of reading and libraries. You are very organized and thorough (and) make it so easy on our end. Sue Ayers Director Clyde-Savannah Public Lib I was wondering if everything would be the same as last year. You surprised me! You came in with a completely different show and even the magic tricks you showed the kids at the end were different. Your show changes as the summer reading theme changes so it’s fresh every time! Michelle Forward, Library Manager Morrisville Public Library An absolutely wonderful job of creating a program that coordinated with our overall theme. Adults and children were intrigued and enthralled. Cheryl Ferris Marcellus Free Library You showed the audience how magical a library card is and how important books are and many were taken out at the end of your shows. Loved how you were really able to incorporate all the info about library cards, books, library programs and staff. Don’t think I’ve ever seen it done so well before. Bette Tucker Children’s Specialist Elbridge Free Library Loved it! Much better quality than other shows we’ve presented in the past year. A+ recommendation. Mary King Moore Memorial Library We display books and fliers at every program, but I’ve never before seen the majority of our display books and all of our fliers gone after a program. Tanya Thompson Geneva Free Library As usual … superb. Hire him, you won’t be disappointed. Pam Heller Children’s Coordinator Livonia Public Library You rock! The show was excellent, as always. We love how David includes the audience, both young and old. The show absolutely gets the kids excited about reading, about our theme for the summer reading program, about getting their own library cards, about pretty much everything Moreland talks to them about. Mumford loves Moreland!! Kathy Smith Branch Head Mumford Library |
