Testimonials

"Our 5th graders enjoyed separating science fact from science fiction and learning more about manatee preservation from Ms. Liu's engaging middle school presentation!" Ami Schroder, Union Mill Elementary School, Clifton, VA

"The mind/body connections Ms. Liu demonstrated provided the second graders with a meaningful array of resources to improve their strength and emotional well-being.  With   A Morning with Grandpa   as a gentle and joyful reminder of her visit, the calming effect of Ms. Liu's presentation will reach beyond the students' classrooms and into their homes."   Kit Ballenger, An Open Book Foundation

"Sylvia Liu graciously spent several hours with our 1st grade classes. The children joyously immersed themselves in reading, writing, art, yoga and tai chi with Sylvia as their inspiring guide. Her enthusiasm for sharing traditions between generations in her gentle story came to life as she shared the story and exercises with our young learners."  Barbara Protacio, Our Lady of Good Counsel School, Olney, VA
