I just wanted to let you know that
at SFS INTEC today we were
complimented on how well our kids
behaved and how respectful they
were. We were told that we have
been their best group so far. Also,
you could see that the thank you
posters melted their hearts. The
students presented the posters,
shook their hands, and said thank
you to the supervisors.

Positive Feedback
I have to tell you how great our trip to Alcon was
today, September, 23! It was so informative and
well organized. They divided us into groups of 5 and
each group had two tour guides. At each stop they
had an employee that works that area explain what
happens in that particular section. We were able to
handle some of the surgical equipment. It was
amazing!
Not only was the facility amazing but so were our
students! They were all so well behaved and polite
and attentive! They were real great ambassadors of
our school and made us all proud!
I know that planning is very time consuming but it is
so well worth the efforts. Thank you for putting it all
together and giving our kids this opportunity!

It was a delight being back at Reading Intermediate this year to present and assist with the
BBEC program. Thank you so much for hosting Gail and myself, and for being so prepared
for our visit! Your leadership, organization, and enthusiasm is apparent in all that you do.
Congrats on another successful year!
PS – I went to Alcon after the morning assembly, and took the tour with some of your
students. I think they got a lot out of the hands-on tour, and they were very well behaved.
All the best,
