Past Participants Have Written Us…
I can't wait to do this again. The sessions have killed my fear of poetry!
—Teresa Dwyer, West Milford High School, West Milford.
There is nothing like this experience! Every group brings together people who are willing to listen…to share…to learn. It’s pure MAGIC! Thank you.
—Mercedes Mulligan, Robert Fulton No. 2 Elementary School, North Bergen.
I enjoyed the sessions deeply and think the experience was life-changing.
—Angeline Montauban, Weequahic High School, Newark.
The hours I spent reading and listening helped to lift my spirits and restore my faith that literature can restore the spirit. I went back to teaching feeling differently about what I do – and about how I can do it. I remember why I love words so much – they bring me the world and myself. Thank you!
—Sally Howell-Rembert, Montclair High School, Montclair.
Not knowing what to expect I was pleasantly surprised. The teachers I met with were very inspiring.
—Judy Casper, Woodbine Elementary School, Woodbine.
I felt renewed and refreshed…I was so excited to get back into my classroom to share my enthusiasm with students.
– Marissa Fuellhart, William Annin Middle School, Basking Ridge.
Our session was so moving and impressive. It provided a great model of a meaningful poetry activity that I can do with my students. I have so benefited from the Dodge Poetry Program activities, and the many students to whom I have “passed them on” have benefited too.
—Barbara Walker, Princeton Day School, Princeton.
I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to be reawakened creatively. I've written more in the past two months than in the past 10 years.
—Kathy Givler, Mount Olive Middle School, Budd Lake.
Each session I attend is a gift.
—Anne Sullivan-Reed, Lake Drive School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children, Mountain Lakes.
Consistently wonderful!
—Juliana Meehan, River Dell Regional High School, River Edge.
This has been a wonderful experience.
—Sheryl Hassan, Trenton Community Charter School, Trenton.
Continue to go with a free-flowing format, not too structured, not too much pressure. Keep up the wonderfully engaging work!
—Tracey Staab, Cape Educational Compact, Cape May Court House.
