One of the best things about being part of The Walking Classroom is the love. Yes, that’s right! We are feeling the love from our adopters as we hear or read about positive experiences with the program. A whole lot of that love, and some pretty glowing recommendations (if I do say so myself!) come from teachers and students currently using the program. And as today is Valentine’s Day, there’s no better time to share that love. Enjoy these sample snippets from the many thank you notes we’ve received this school year.
