“For the past two years, we have had the pleasure of experiencing touring shows performed by the extremely talented Birgitta De Pree. In a technology driven society, she provides students and parents with the key to unlock their imaginations through drama and imagery to help encourage reading and writing. We will continue to invite her back each year to share this wonderful experience with our families.” Heather Holcomb – Title I Interventionist – South Mesa Elementary, Pueblo Colorado
