"Our school initiative in the last two years has focussed on promoting reading and
writing for our students. We were fortunate and thankful for Heather Whaley's performances
which were created for the different grades and age levels starting from Kindergarten
to Grade 8.
Mrs. Whaley provided a wonderful, participatory program blending music, laughter,
rhythm and the art of story telling to celebrate the gift of literacy. She provided
an energetic performance geared to our school's focus.
It was wonderful to watch students and staff enjoy her interactive performance and
the motivational level that was displayed in their follow up work in the classroom.
We asked Mrs. Whaley to perform and work with our school community for the last
two years."
Mrs. C. Rosario, Principal Monsignor Leo Cleary CS
