Todd,
What a joy to have you in our school today ! Our students rarely have this kind of experience! As I walked around the building at the end of the day there was so much positive energy! Your visit will be remembered for a very long time! Thanks you for your passion and energy.
Sincerely,
Joann Spera and the entire staff of Emerson School

Dear Mr. Strasser,
Central Middle School still echoes your presence. We wanted to take a moment to thank you for your outstanding presentations at our school on March 16, 2012. Since your visit, the Todd Strasser books have been flying off our library shelves. The kids are thoroughly enjoying them and look forward to future Strasser novels!
Your presentations inspired and motivated our students, especially the stories about how you struggled with reading and writing and persevered to become a successful writer. The lunch interviews were fantastic and can now be seen on our school website. The Q & A sessions with the eighth grade students at the end of the day were a great springboard into further classroom discussions about the writing process.
The sincerity, humor and wisdom that you shared about persevering and learning from your mistakes is what we will remember and take with us for future success.
Thank you again for a wonderful visit!
Dr. Norman Francis, Principal

It’s unanimous among the teachers, principal, librarian, and students: Todd Strasser’s visit to our middle school was a big hit! We loved how he modified the presentation slightly for each age group. In humorous and memorable fashion, he emphasized the importance of reading and writing, and the need for perseverance in the face of setbacks. We will definitely have Todd back for another visit.

Dear Todd,
Thank you so much for your wonderful presentations at Derby last Wednesday. I’ve had terrific feedback from both teachers and students. The Writing Workshops were both practical and inspiring. Connie Chapin, our 6th grade English teacher (and Head of the English Department) was very impressed with how you related to the 6th graders at exactly the right level for them. The large presentations in Larson Hall were funny, informative and perfectly tailored to each of the groups you were addressing. I loved the way you mentioned books that you enjoy, written by other writers. I’ve had lots of requests from students, teachers and even a parent, for the titles that you mentioned.
Thanks again for a great visit! Your books are flying off theshelves – always the best sign that the visit was a huge success.
Best regards,
Judy
