Elementary School Age

Picture
After college, Greg became a substitute teacher. In his free time, he started a mentoring program and a foundation. His efforts to help students have been featured by media like Education Week. He is a recipient of the Jefferson Award for Public Service and has been honored by groups like Simply Family. The books based on his story include a look at his own experiences as an elementary school kid as well as his time as an educator working with students that age.  SCROLL DOWN​

​​​The Milkshake Man (and its companion workbook, One Lunch) have been used by many elementary schools, camps & youth-serving nonprofits with students between Kindergarten through 4th grade reading level. The First Thirty & its companion workbook (A Place To Sit) have been used by many elementary schools, camps & youth-serving nonprofits with students at 4th or 5th grade reading level (and up) &/or staff.  SCROLL DOWN​​

​At elementary schools, ​the books & workbooks have been ordered for specific classes or 'all-school reads' (or all-staff reads). In some cases, schools have gotten the books for the kids as part of a 'common read' on a field trip or trip abroad. Many youth-serving nonprofits have gotten the books for after-school programs or summer programs or for their staff.   SCROLL DOWN​

For kids in older elementary school grades, Greg has spoken at assemblies & led Young Writers Workshops. At nonprofits, camps & schools (and events like Readers are Leaders), he has done readings of The Milkshake Man for kids in the K-4th grade age range. In some cases, 5th graders have attended the readings as well. In some instances, after the readings, the kids do an art/community service-related activity based on the story. In many cases, he has done events for teachers &/or nonprofit staff who work with elementary school-aged students SCROLL DOWN
