We've had David Adler TWICE, first about 8 yrs ago, and then again
about 3-4 yrs ago (so no student saw him both times) . He presented to
your 2nd-5th graders, and they loved it. Teachers loved the fact that
he had been a MS teacher and thus knew how to keep the kids' attention.
He is a dynamic presenter. We saved a bit on his fee since , I
believe he lives on Long Island, NY (so no airfare, or hotel) .
