“Zig went above and beyond what he was required to do with these students, who were not the easiest to handle. By the end of the week, not only had Zig involved the students and staff, but also parents (most of who were not easy to involve in their child’s life) and community.” Cindy S. (administrator)

“Zig always goes over really well with students and teachers. Zig brings in a lot of math, and the teachers really go for that, it’s all in our curriculum. An artist who is able to apply what the teachers are doing in the class room, that’s just a win-win.” Michael R. (educator)
