• Hi Mallory,
It felt oddly out of place today to not be connecting chords and vertices together! Just wanted to thank you for the work you did on the assemblies this week. The feedback from students and staff was wonderful. I even got texts last night from parents whose children came home excited about Geodomes. Just wanted to send you and an official ‘Thank You”.
All the Best, Lise Gazzillo—Clinton, CT
• Mallory--
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for a really fun day last week. I think the kids had a great experience!

• Thanks so much for today Mallory! I just picked my son up from school and he told me before I even asked how awesome building the geodomes was, and how he and his friends really enjoyed it. Thought you'd like to hear the feedback straight from a fourth grader! See you next year,

• Thank you so much for such a wonderful workshop! It was both educational and entertaining. The staff and the students had such positive things to say. Thiago was so impressed...wished "school was more like this." I visited the younger kids and they were building 3-D shapes with tooth picks and marshmallows. The teachers modified a few of the activities you provided for the younger group as well. Thanks again,

• Hi Mallory--
I wanted to follow up on Emily's phone call to say that thank you very much for coming to our school last week—I really enjoyed meeting you! I could tell that the 3rd and 4th graders took a lot of useful information away from the Geodomes and really enjoyed the hands-on experience, and my boys couldn't stop raving about the afternoon assembly when they got home! Emily said the same about her son, and Martha Cox-Stavros, who introduced you at the whole-school assembly, told me that the kids couldn't stop laughing. All the best for the rest of the school year—and perhaps we'll see you again next year!
Sincerely,
Kathleen Birkeland and the Enrichment Committee for Manchester Memorial School
• Fantastic!!! Mrs. Doucette raved about you (our 5-8th grade math teacher) ! One of her favorite programs. We do not have specific dates as of yet, but will be in touch soon. Enjoy your time in Belgium! How wonderful, Looking forward to communicating with you further!

• Mallory, Thank YOU for returning to our students again year after year! I heard rave reviews from my 5th grade son, and that IS saying something! It has been a pleasure getting to know you. All the best as you begin your career transition and new opportunities! We will contact you again for next years programs, if life doesn't find you in Europe!
Best, Shari Gallant — Buker SAchool / Wenham, MA
• Hello Mallory,
My students and I have used your bodyography cards for years. We are ready for a new set. How do I order more? Thanks.

• WOWED THEM IN STONEHAM! Hi Mallory,I was hoping to catch you before you departed the South School today, but you were gone by the time those bitter North winds blew me into the school this afternoon. I am SO pleased to report from various sources (my 2nd grader, my 5th grader, two classroom teachers, and our school Principal) that the GEODOME workshops were an all-around HUGE HIT! Thank you for your good work, planning, awesome program, and for all that you are doing to make education come alive for young children. It was a pleasure to work with you and we will definitely look forward to hosting you in the future and I’d be happy to serve as a reference if you ever needed one in this area.
Cheers, Jane DiGangi, Co-Chair Enrichment Committee — South Elementary School / Stoneham, Massachusetts
• Mallory,
I know that you do not remember us or our daughter, Mary Martha, who is now a sophomore at Columbia.
We first met you in your Saturday program at Oblong Books in Millerton when Mary Martha was in 2nd grade.
We followed you to your Falls Village School Saturday programs.
You were the first to notice that "Mary Martha sees things that others don't see."
This is something we never forgot.
You suggested testing, which led us to Hollingworth Institute, which led us to Hollingworth Program at Columbia Teachers College.
Mary Martha won the INTEL—ISEF grand award both as a high school junior and again as a senior, something that I do not think happened before.
In her senior experiment she discovered something that no one else had noticed.
As part of the INTEL award Mary Martha represented the US at the European Union Contest for Young Scientists in Stockholm and also had a small planet named after her by MIT.
It started with you and we thank you.
I hope that you are well.
