Donna Kenney:

To the presenters at the Region 8 IMIL training in Salt Lake City, thank you so much for providing exciting information and ideas. You are all AWESOME! Upon returning from the training, we have had two opportunities to present what we have learned.

The first training we presented was to our staff (65 individuals). They have shown great excitement and many are already using some of the ideas in their classrooms. They have also experienced OOH-AAH momemts. The second training was for the Early Childhood Coordinators at their state wide meeting in Montana.

We had a blast sharing information with those who attended. We will be presenting at the Early Childhood Conference in Butte on April 19th. Thank you again for empowering us with such awesome knowledge! We will continue to "Celebrate the Moment"!!!!! On behalf of Lynette, Sue and Pat. Thank you again and we look forward to future trainings. Donna Kenney

Lynette Petritz:

I attended IMIL in Salt Lake City last week. It was the most exciting training that I have ever attended. I am really looking forward to implementing all of the ideas.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I attended the IMIL training session in Salt Lake City last week. My heart says "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!" This is going to change the way I teach in the classroom. Looking forward to the next training! Debby from Colorado Springs

MaDonna Baldwin:

I attended the IMIL training in Salt Lake City. It was awesome, fun and very motivating! I returned to the classroom and we all started moving, moving, moving. The children LOVE Choosy already because we have fun with his music and all the ways he's teaching us about foods and moving. Some children who rarely moved before are starting to participate in activities with smiles. The children beg for Choosy songs and parents report they're coming home tired-can I hear an OO-AAH!
