I am currently looking to set up visits in select areas at this time. I am always more then
happy to return to a school. I love getting feedback from the teachers and students. If you are
interested in setting up a visit to your school then please contact me via email as we are still
in the works of moving into our home after a house fire and have yet to set up a telephone. I
would prefer if possible to make this a day visit whether it be all Freckles books or a mix
between the two as we will be driving out to some areas. I will be available throughout the
year and look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Vickianne aswell
If you no longer wish to receive mail from me, kindly contact me and it will stop. !hank you for your time!
