*****************************

A full day includes a maximum of four presentations.  .  If neighboring schools wish to split the cost of a full-day visit, I can spend the morning at one school and visit the other in the afternoon, giving two presentations at each school. 
Please allow 10-15 minutes between sessions and remember to factor in time for lunch and book signing.
