“The staff have been raving about your visit today and the students are still on an absolute high. Thank you for providing such an outstanding, exciting and inspiring literary event. These are writing ideas that the students will take with them forever, and their teachers too. One of my teachers who has been here for ten years told me that yours was the best he has ever seen at our school!” — Gina (Brohm) Brown, Teacher-Librarian, Angus Morrison Elementary School.

Rimbey Elementary School, Rimbey:

“Sigmund’s approach to PAT prep equipped my students with a sure-fire way to beat writer’s block when faced with a picture prompt. He teaches them to brainstorm, pick the best idea, expand and then put it all together in a well-organized interesting story. His program keeps the kids engaged with lots of entertaining stories along the way, which also serves to inspire them to find the best way to hook readers.”

River Heights School, Medicine Hat:

“The PAT prep course has been instrumental in getting my students excited about writing, not only for the PAT, but also encouraged them to be genuine authors. The graphic organizers helped scaffold the steps to writing a story and were effective in helping students sort out their thoughts. Interacting with Sigmund in person was a definite plus. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Story Ninjas is the way to go!”
