“Welcome to New York!” has visited many elementary schools in Suffolk County. Without exception, this program has been enthusiastically received by teachers, students, and administrators. Often, after a visit to an elementary school in a particular district, the good news will spread quickly. The other elementary schools in that district soon call wanting their students to benefit from the program, as well. Word of mouth recommendations have been most gratifying, and program bookings continue to steadily increase.
