I am for the values and all you teach in such remarkable ways!
Our staff and students surely have benefited greatly from your
presentations!"

"The day of your appearance
marked one of the most educational and entertaining experiences
on this year's class calendar. Your songs and stories gave us a
new understanding and appreciation of the Native American
Inhabitants of our area. It was the perfect addition to our
study of Indiana History. Thank you for making learning so much
fun!"
Susan
Furuness, 4th/5th grade teacher, Homan Elementary
"You again garnered rave reviews
from those who attended your hour of songs, poems, and stories.
Yours was the inaugural performance in our new library. This
was a deliberate choice on our part; we knew from your past
appearance that you would provide the gift of a unique and
polished presentation, combined with a respect for your
audience."
Jean Andres,
Tippecanoe County Public Library
"Students and staff alike were
delighted with the performances you gave for us on Thursday.
The kindergarten in the morning, especially, enjoyed their
private time with you, as did the artistically talented students
you visited after school. We appreciated so much that you would
take time for them."
Susan
Robinson, Principal, Harcourt School, Indianapolis
"Your program was excellent and
well received by your audience. It was just what I had in
mind. As a storyteller, I so much appreciate hearing other
tellers and learning from them. Your quiet telling of tales and
combining of music is both powerful and moving."
Jeannine S. Furukawa, Lake County Public Library
"The audience members at our
"end-of-the-summer" Reading Program party certainly enjoyed your
entertaining performance. I have heard many positive comments
and compliments from both children and adult participants. It
was a wonderful finale for our summer program!"
Valerie Thompson, Children's Services, Muncie Public Library
Thank you for sharing time with
students and teachers at North Elementary. Through your
creative storytelling and dramatization with song and game, we
have connected with our past, our natural world, and have seen
ourselves as an integral part of a whole. Thank you for
challenging our minds...you have re-channeled our energies into
new avenues of thought and forms of self-expression. I applaud
your dedication to the research and teachings of the Potawatomi
Indians and the development of unique and effective educational
programs for children in the areas of personal growth and
self-awareness."

Enrichment Coordinator, North Elementary
Newspaper Reviews:
George's Performances
"Schricker mesmerized his
audience without saying a word for the first 15 minutes of his
1-hour performance. All of his interactive songs were packed
with hand motions, facial expressions and funny words. They also
transmitted positive vibes about friendship, helping others and
not putting people down. Students were still dancing and
clapping as they left the room. It had been a fun day in
school."
The Daily
Ledger, Noblesville, IN.
"(George Schricker) is fast
becoming one of the Midwest's most popular children's
performers."
The
Indianapolis Star
"As adults we were lifted into an
atmosphere of freedom and forgotten fun. It was magic."
The South
Bend Tribune
"It's with the magic of someone
that thoroughly loves what he's doing, that Schricker enthralls
students, while he teaches them some valuable lessons they may
not even be aware of."
The Herald
Journal, Lafayette, IN.
"Schricker can take even the
eldest of children on a trip through the looking glass into a
wonderland of intellectual comedy and whimsical folk songs."
The Daily
Ledger, Noblesville, IN.
"The Pied Piper-like Schricker
kept the kids engrossed from the second he started stroking a
few warm-up chords on his guitar."
