Susan,
What a lovely site you have there. I enjoyed my visit and actually got a few
ideas from it on how to help with my granddaughters school site. *smiles.
They requested my help, but not being familiar with how schools did things, I
did not have any idea on what to recommend or do. Your site is very user friendly, which is great, and the graphics were excellent. Colors went very well and links were in good order.
You have done a very good job!
Please accept the award you have requested with my compliments and respect for a well done website. Also, I would like to give you another award, of your choice, for the caring and concern about children which was so well exhibited in your work.
A warm congratulations as our latest Winner and welcome to Nancy Carol's

*Best wishes,
Nancy Carol

Congratulations to Our Award Winner: Tooter4Kids

2002 - 3 school year [the first year of this award].

September 2002

Thank you for your wonderful and loving website for September 11, 2001.
I'm happy to present your site with my Eagle Award. (August 30, 2002)

Your various websites are indeed a tribute in themselves, not only to the tragedy of September 11th 2001, but to your willingness to go the "one step further" which distinguishes a good teacher from a regular one.......

Both my Wife and myself are involved as our "proper" job in education and young people, although slightly older than second grade in my own case.. and also usually in the children my wife has contact with......we applaud anything that gives the children more insight whilst at the same time giving them something different to the "norm" in respect of curriculum content and delivery.

New York City is particularly a favorite of ours, we live in the Northern part of Maryland and visit as often as we can, we are only about a three hour drive south of Manhattan.

Hi Susan,
I am the other half of Trevor and Jeanne's website :) I just had to
write and let you know that I very much enjoyed your website!! It is so
inspirational and educational. I have forwarded the website to the
principals at the Wisconsin School for the Deaf and the Maryland School for the Deaf asking them to share it with their teachers who will,
hopefully, share it with their students.
Congratulations on a job well done!!
