What kids have to say about
Phil:
"He's not like most
writers that come in their best outfits. He
came to Walton Middle School like a regular
person. We enjoyed him a lot. He told us things
that I never knew existed. My friend and I could
tell that he really likes his job and he is
not afraid to speak his mind. He is a great
speaker. We all really enjoyed him a lot and
we hope he will come again."--De'Cara,8th
grade
"He
is really great! Instead of going on and on
like a textbook, he really got me into the kids
from history. He even sang with us, and let
us as all the questions we wanted."
-- Lauren, 6th grade, Charlotteville Virginia.
