Dear Dr.J

I really enjoyed your presentation and I am really happy that you came to our school. Your slide show was really educational and  I also enjoyed your enthusiasm. You have really convinced me that SFU is the way to go and being a mathematician is something that I will consider a little later in my life. Thanks again for coming up and teaching us a little bit about mathematics and please tell the volunteers that I said thanks.

Dear Dr.J

Hey Dr.J thanks for coming down to our small little school and teaching us about future high school math . It was fun learning new things about math, and it is awesome to learn more then one way of doing something. I loved learning more stuff about you and about your volunteers. I will definitely think about going to your school when I’m older. And I won't forget the amazing lessons you taught us on your visit to our small little school.
Thank you so much for taking your time to teach us so many new things and brain twisters. It was funny how many things we got to do that were so much fun. Thank you for your time.

Yours truly,

Natalie

Dear Dr. J.

I'd like to thank you for coming to our school.
Your presentation was very interesting, and I certainly enjoyed the paper cutting thing. I loved your subtle humour, and the University you work at looks really cool I’d love to visit it someday! I'm sure you put a lot of work into your presentation, and it sure payed off as it turned out awesome. I like that you brought some students along with you, they seemed like really interesting people.
Your tips and tricks are actually really helpful, and the puzzles were really fun.
Again, thank you so much for making our afternoon fun and interesting!

Sincerely,

Dear Dr.J,

I really enjoyed your visit to Pinantan Elementary, but I really liked learning how to make the moebius strips. I thought that it was amazing how one strip of paper can turn into so many different shapes. I also learned a lot about Math, and I am so happy that you came all the way up here to talk to us.

Sincerely,
Maeve
