A Most Memorable Visit at Norma B Bossard Elementary School
I was greeted this morning by the friendliest Media Specialist, Leonora Flietas, at Norma Bossard Elementary in SW Miami. This beautiful school is only 3 years old, and the library is fantastic!
I had the chance to share my program with a class of 36 1st graders. The school chose to hold a lottery and picked one class to meet me. We danced, sang, learned about the plants and animals of Costa RIca and all about the rain forest. These were the cutest, happiest, most inquisitive kids. They were polite and so friendly. Every time I share my book with kids, I am reminded how much energy and enthusiasm they have. And more than anything, they like to have FUN! Each of us (adults) can certainly learn from them.
Thank you Leonora and all the kids and teachers for inviting me into your beautiful school and putting a smile on my face for the rest of the day!

Debbie,
Thank you so much for your visit. The students were mesmerized during your presentation. They thoroughly enjoyed the different voices, the dancing, and learning about Costa Rica. It was fun and very educational. As a media specialist, I will definitely recommend a visit from you to fellow media specialists. Good luck with Lilly Badilly!
