“You did such a great job with the schedule for School of Rock.  The flexibility we had was great, too.  The whole experience was so positive and an incredible opportunity.  I’m already planning to collaborate with our 4th grade teachers for their unit on plate tectonics and fossils.” ~Eileen Poling, West Virginia - Science teacher to Gifted students, grades K-6 - School of Rock 2007
