Hello Ms. Allen, first I want to thank you taking the time to meet with our class. The presentation was very good, and I really enjoyed it so much. I also like how you are presenting our young future adults to the world of human rights. I know this experience will carry them through their life time. Going to school in the 1960's, has brought back so many memories. Thank you again, and continue on with the good work.

When they created the word mentor, they must been thinking of you. the presentation you did waas the greatest, it shows in your face the love you have for your job. It touched my heart that you teach young people to have sympathy for people. for this day and time it's very rare too find people that think's that way.

Also, when you said that the children will be using this in their lifes. god is so good that he chose you too carry on his work. and also to be accountable for your decisions.

the movie clips you shown at the school touch my heart. and shows the news we don't get to see. Ms.Allen i paray to god he will continue to bless you and even give you bigger challenges to accomplish. Love You

I want to say thank you to Professor Jen Heuson for the field trip to Saint Luke School and thanks to Ms. Allen for a very interesting and inspiring seminar. It was very exciting to learn about how her students get involved in helping others. It is a shame that all children are not exposed to Ms Allen way of teaching. I hope my petition will help the Immokalee workers. Thanks again Ms Allen I wish you and your students the best in all you do in life helping others.

Ms. Allen;
I enjoyed your presentation. I would like to learn to create a web page and blog that is interactive and creative. I like that you have your students helping people now and not wait for someone else to do something.
If there were instructors like you and Jen, in Public School when I went through I might have enjoyed it better and not rushed my youth.
Thanks, keep up the good work.
Prof. Jen,
I really love your classes, and will continue to seek them out toward my major.
Thanks,
Maryann
