"I would like to thank you for the quick respond. I did download my Teacher Report Card Comments book. It was really easy. I was impressed with the bank of comments you made. It facilitates my life you have no idea. Teaching in French immersion and having to do all my report card in English is tremendous work for me.

When I read your comments, I just smile(smile of relief)! Now I am ready for the next report card! Thank you so much!" - Martine Cyr, B.C., Canada
