"Hi April, I'm extremely happy I attended your session!!! It was mind blowing!!! 

"I attended many workshops but was focusing more on planning. I taught 6th-8th grade, but this upcoming year, I will teach 4th grade- totally new."

"Hello April, I think you're wonderful and I've benefitted immensely from your online professional development."
