“Well, as I emailed you before, your final project for Dimensions of Learning really knocked my socks off. You are incredible, Jess! I sometimes hear how special area staff cannot apply the strategies we offer in training…but you have not only taken them, applied them, but you have raised them to another level of application.  I am so impressed by your paper, your intelligence, and your willingness to make your project a “work of art” in and of itself, even though you didn’t have to..a TRUE intelligent characteristic at it’s best Jess!”

– Perkiomen Valley Curriculum and Induction Coordinator

“Jessica! This is great! I feel like I am right there at Skippack viewing all of this wonderful work! But I certainly will get there in person soon to see the “real” thing. My gosh, Jess, you do such wonderful work with these children. Just think of all of the budding future professional artists you are creating by the outstanding instruction and ongoing encouragement you give to your kids. YOu are incredible and I think we are so lucky to have you here.”

“I just had to tell you…Stephen has been talking about you and art class NON-STOP lately!  He thinks you are the greatest and art is his favorite special.  He actually made 2 pictures this week and has them in a “special” envelope, today, to show to you during class. I hope he doesn’t lose the nerve to show you; he is so proud of them and has been talking about ‘taking them to art class’ all week long. “

 – Parent Skippack Elementary

“I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed seeing the artwork you have had the students doing.  It is so original and beautiful!  I really love that pottery.  The kids could sell it!

Thanks for making this place look gorgeous!!”

He does this on his own with no prompting. Thanks for your patience and preserving with him and all your students. Your positive, compassionate, and dedicated teaching shapes their positive view of art.”
