                       Angela Frye, parent

 Janet, thank you so much - from the bottom of my heart   for working with my child AND for noticing that yes, still waters DO run deep.We have been SO happy with his participation.  The reading was great - I was very proud because he was nervous and shy but did it anyway!

  • "Thanks so much for your communication and especially for taking the time to read my son's story this week.  He really appreciates the feedback and so do I.   He is really enjoying the class. "

  • "Janet helped my daughter find her own voice in her writing.  She helped Caroline use the power of words to frame an issue she feels strongly about and helped her see that, through words, you can voice your opinion and feelings and possibly facilitate change in the world."                 Bonnie Parker, parent

    
     

What other's have to say...


"Janet is an excellent teacher of writing. I can highly recommend this class."

 Alida Woods

Principal
Isaac Dickson Elementary School

"Janet Hurley worked in my classroom for at least ten hours every week for three months. My students participated willingly in every part of Janet's curriculum which focused on how writing can make a difference in the world. The children in my fifth grade class ate it all up. Partly they were eager for this real world talk and partly they were drawn in by her skills as a teacher. 
The children felt her investment in them and her investment of time inspired them to write phenomenal, thought-full essays."

May Castelloe, 5th grade teacher Isaac Dickson Elementary, Asheville
