Skype Review
Mrs. George,
Thank you for taking the time to Skype with our students during our field trip. The insights that you shared with us about your grandfather, Rube Goldberg, were intriguing and invaluable to our children. Thank you for having such incredible patience as our select children came to the computer to ask you their personal questions. Our children are quite awestruck that you ARE Rube’s granddaughter! Many of our parents have contacted us to express how truly inspired their child was by being able to Skype with you. Thank you again for your time, insights, and sharing with our children!
Sincerely,
The SAGE Teachers of Rockwall ISD
