Maureen Menter, Cub Scout Leader, NH

"This is a fantastic project. I visit your website all the time. What a wonderful idea and great materials for our Girl Scouts."
Melissa Rose, Girl Scouts of Otahki Council, MO

"I'm a true believer in your project and resources. What you do is so powerful for advancing girls and has been of tremendous use to our leaders."
Sindy Jagger, Girl Guides of Canada

"I am delighted to recommend the Legacy Project. An outstanding resource with a variety of wonderful activities. A definite winner!"
Don Kyzer, YMCA of the USA Association Resources

"I'm very impressed with how you run your contests and the quality of the prizes. Thank you very, very much."
Rena Parker, OK

"Your workshops, school presentations, and educational approach are unique, refreshing, and truly effective. It's rare to find a book like Dream and someone like author and educator Susan Bosak who can so effectively reach both students and teachers. It's been a highlight of our year! Thank you for your commitment to making a difference."
Dr. Chris Caram, Deputy Superintendent,
Gaston County Schools, NC


"Dream is an absolutely amazing and beautiful book. It can be used in so many ways and is so inspirational. I use it with my students, and I'm sharing it with the teachers I teach and everyone else I know!"
Allison Ashworth, ON

"We've used Dream for our school-wide theme. The principal read it to all the students and our display cases are filled with ideas from the book. Your project has made a huge difference to our students, staff, parents, and community."
Angie Smith, AB

"Our school created a play based on the Dream book as part of a three-year anti-bullying project. We have a population of around 345 students and everyone worked together to make 1500 origami Dream Stars! It was an awesome experience for all. Some students wrote about hoping to have more time with Mom, or about parents not being together, or about their desire to do their best in school, or about something they could do in the community. The stars now hang proudly in each classroom."
Paola Cherrier, ON

"As an inner city school we have many challenges. We've used your project with our whole school, including parents. The ability to dream opens doors for our students and sends a very caring message. Students need to plan their lives, dare to dream, and then as a community we can help them commit and work together to bring their own personal dreams to fruition."
Kelly Code-McNeil, NS

"Dream is an inspiration not only to children but to educators as well. I use this book in my classroom and the connections to all strands of the curriculum are endless. Your website has a very comprehensive list of activities around the book that really work to inspire children and adults. This project truly transcends age and reminds us that we should never give up on our dreams!"
Susie Stamatopoulos, ON

"Staff and students are still raving about author Susan Bosak's visit to our school. Susan is such a dynamic presenter and knew exactly how to adapt her material to the different grades. The follow-up activities on your website mean we're taking what she started and running with it."
Eileen Arruda, ON

"We held our first – and VERY successful – grandmother-granddaughter program. We used the book Something to Remember Me By which was read aloud by a local children's librarian. Each grandmother-granddaughter pair took home a book from the program. We took photos of each pair and they decorated frames for the photos. Of course we had refreshments and lots of informal visiting. Thank you so much for the book and website that prompted the idea for our program. It will be the first of many intergenerational programs!"
Kit Huggard, Adirondack Girl Scout Council, NY

"Thank you for providing this wonderful website for all generations."
Teri Kimbell, CO

"Your intergenerational projects are great! Your website has given me so many more ideas to do with our groups of students and seniors."
Beth Strobel, KY

"This really is fantastic! I've ordered the complete Across Generations 4-kit series. I'm looking forward to using the materials with my fourth graders as soon as possible. Thanks!"
Dina Pomeranz, NY

"I ordered the Across Generations Starter Set and we've just completed a family history unit based on your materials. We decided to bring the project to a closure by inviting parents to an evening Open House which would highlight all the activities we had completed. It was an enormous success! In my 25 years of teaching I have never received as many compliments about a unit of study as I did that night. The next morning the comments continued to come in through thank you cards and
e-mails. Parents, and many grandparents, were thrilled with all that the students learned, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it too. Thank you for such a great project!"
Heather Pedersen, BC

"What an inspiring project! The materials are top quality. I love them! I've ordered a copy of all the activity kits for each of our 15 centers across the state."
Nicole Hargraves, Florida Department of
Volunteer & Intergenerational Initiatives, FL


"WOW! Very impressive! An Activity Director's 'Dream-Come-True'. A multitude of easy-to-follow, creative, meaningful and, most importantly, fun activity ideas for use with children and seniors. This is the most comprehensive selection of intergenerational ideas and resource lists I've ever seen – and you can order them all in one binder! Congratulations on the production of such extensive and worthwhile materials."
Karen M. Schaefer, Editor, CanGO Quarterly Magazine

"I just discovered your website and I love it! Thanks! Keep up the great work."
Becky Cerar, MN

"This is a fun and rewarding project for our family. Thank you!"
Donna Thomas, IN

"I have spent hours perusing and reading your website... so much wonderful and good information."
Karen Valenti, MI

"Thank you so much for this valuable project for our school. This certainly gives us many more ideas for expanding our activities."
Joy Drummond, AL

"Our family is so pleased with your website and visit often. Keep up the good work!"
Bonnie Jackson, ON

"Wow! I think the kits are super incredible! I'm really glad you make them available online. It makes things much more do-able. Thanks again."
Amie Johnson, CA

"An excellent resource full of exciting activities. Your contests are the best. Thanks for providing a real purpose for our student writing that will have a true and lasting impact on their lives."
Gwen Wilson, NS

"I look for the gems, and I've just found one. Your project, the beautiful Dream book, and the thought that Susan Bosak brings to her work are outstanding."
Barbara Phillips, QC

"I just love your site!!! Keep up the good work with this project. I'm telling everyone I know about it."
Jo McLeary, New Zealand

"As a teacher and a grandparent, I would like to thank your organization for the fantastic job you are doing. I now have your beautiful certificates for my students to choose from and the valuable information and activities. Thank you again."
Patty Bigelow, CO

"Thank you for the wonderful workshop. As a teacher of literacy, a parent, and a dreamer, I was moved and inspired. The day was filled with possibilities!"
Judy Harris, NJ

"I attended Susan Bosak's presentation the other day and I have to take a minute to tell you how impressive it was. I had previously discovered your website and books while planning advisory activities on goal setting, life planning, careers, etc. Now I'm really 'pumped' for next year's activities at my school."
Sandy Vogt, OH

"Thank you so much for this wonderful project. The activities are great. I can't begin to express how much I appreciate the time you have invested in this project."
Tracey Pelchat, NE
