On May 21st. Gabe brought N.A.S.A. To Garner Elementary School's 800 students. Gabe's presentation was fantastic. His awesome power points and picture shows captivated kindergarteners through fifth grade. Gabe's motivational speech was fascinating. Garner Elementary is in Winter Haven, Florida. Our school is in a very high poverty area in Polk County Florida. Most of our students will never know life outside of a text book or be able to escape the poverty stricken area. When I first met Gabe and learned it may be a possibility for Gabe to present at Garner, I shared with him my burden for the children. Many of the children are too old for their current grades due to FCAT retention. Many of our fifth graders are simply given up on life already. Gabe mesmerized the children during his day long guest speaking engagement at Garner. Gabe was able to speak to individual classrooms throughout the day. The children responded to Gabe with sincere questions and later through sincere letters of appreciate with yet more questions. Thank you for allowing Gabe and N.A.S.A., to enter the hearts and minds of Garner students. This was a true mountain top experience for the Garner children and their teachers. Gratefully sent Sheila Buell B.ED M.ED HQT P.S. Not only was Gabe amazing, he brought gifts for each of Garner's 800 students from NASA. The students now own a bit of N.A.S.A. Through Gabe's guest speaking and his gracious gifts. Gabe will live on in these children's minds and hearts forever. Dear Ms. Lindsley, I can’t tell you how I appreciate coming to know Gabe and for his agreeing to enter the lives of Garner’s 800 students. I am thankful that N.A.S.A. has made possible your speakers bureau in which N.A.S.A. Employees can share dreams and goals of the aerospace program with students. My kindergarten students will never forget Gabe. When I showed my students the pictures that were taken by my husband, they were mesmerized all over again. Thank you for this incredible opportunity. Respectfully, Sheila A. Buell B.ED M.ED Hi Gabe, I am writing to give feedback on a presentation that Gabe gave for our students. I work for a non-profit organization called Breakthrough Collaborative, which helps junior high students from low-income families excel in school. Good morning. Dear Ms. Lindsley, Gabe Gabrielle gave an outstanding presentation to the teachers who attended the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Educators’ Workshop last Saturday, April 25, 2009 in Lakeland, FL. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the space program is incredible. His positive attitude and outlook on life are truly remarkable and he shares all of this with his audience. The forum tent was filled to capacity and the teachers really enjoyed the presentation. Thank you so much for allowing him to speak and for the NASA materials he shared with those attending. We had a fantastic workshop and Gabe contributed so much to the success of the entire day. Sincerely, I really want to thank you for allowing George " Gabe" Gabrielle to visit with our student on May 26, 2009. It was such a delightful and informative presentation. Both students and faculty alike enjoyed it. Gabe did a wonderful job. The videos and photos were awesome. I know that he has helped spark the aeronautic desire in many of the students. Thank you again for our presentations, as I know all will remember for a long time. Ms. Lindsley, I would like to thank you for allowing Gabe to come to Garner Elementary and present information regarding NASA and the space program. The students really enjoyed the pictures, slideshow, videos, visuals, question/answer time, and the goodies. Gabe did a presentation for fifth graders at Pinewood Elementary in May. What a wonderful presentation! He did an outstanding job sharing what is happening in the space program. He also challenged students to do their best, set goals and dream. He held their attention throughout the presentation and engaged them in a question and answer session at the end. What an awesome experience for our students! They were amazed at his slide show. We appreciate him sharing his knowledge and time with us and bringing along “goodies” for the students. Gabe was very good. I really appreciate him coming here. Our kids asked a lot of questions in the high school and he kept their attention very well. He also sent a lot of handouts and goodies for the kids which was a wonderful gesture. Dear Ms. Abernathy and Ms. Miller, I can't tell you how I appreciate coming to know Gabe and for his agreeing to enter the lives of Garner's 800 students. I am thankful that N.A.S.A. has made possible your speakers bureau in which N.A.S.A. Employees can share dreams and goals of the aerospace program with students. I am very thankful to you Jennifer and to you Tara for working above and beyond the call of duty to gather all the materials from NASA so quickly to enable Gabe to bring gifts to Garner's students and staff. Garner is a multiethnic school. Garner is a title one school Most of the student body live in extreme poverty. Gabe's visit to Garner was the first in the lifetime, mountain top experience for our students. I know Gabe opened the window to a door that most of the students never knew existed. Thanks to the two of you, each student now has a memento gift of Gabe and N.A.S.A. My kindergarten students will never forget Gabe. When I showed my students the pictures that were taken by my husband, they were mesmerized all over again. Thank you for this incredible opportunity, and all your hard work. Respectfully, Sheila A. Buell B.ED M.ED I want to thank you so much for sending George Gabrielle to Boyette Springs Elementary School to talk about the future of the space program. Any school you send him to would be lucky to have him as their speaker. His presentation was very well organized and was met with incredible enthusiasm and interest by all 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. He handled all the students’ questions with expertise and thoughtfulness. He also showed he is compassionate and caring with his positive messages about dreams and goals. He also built a positive rapport with an autistic child allowing him to be his “personal assistant” and help him with his slide and video presentation. He made a huge impact on a child who already has many obstacles in life and was made to feel important in front of all of his peers. Sincerely, Nancy Dukes Dear Mr. Gabe, KSC - Speakers Bureau, Our school was fortunate enough to have a guest speaker, Gabe Gabrielle, from the Speakers Bureau on September 19, 2008. I would like to express our gratitude and let the bureau know what an outstanding presentation Mr. Gabrielle gave. He was very informative and the students soaked up every bit of information that he offered. We really appreciated the fact that he brought handouts for all the students in the school. Through him, many of our students and teachers alike have a renewed interest in the Space program. He continues to kindle that flame with emails from Kennedy Space Center that contain amazing images and updates from NASA, and mailing “goodies” for the students and the classrooms. While visiting our school, he took the time to interact with the students and he continues to motivate them to establish dreams, goals, and believe in themselves. He has enhanced our science curriculum by making the space program a “hands on” experience for our students. The faculty, staff and students at Upthegrove Elementary School are very appreciative of all that he has done for our school. Sincerely, Title: Kennedy Space Center Program Hi Gabe, Thanks for a wonderful program yesterday. The kids loved you, and it was a good promotion for our planned science reading room. Thanks also for the posters, books and other goodies. All the best,

After attending your workshop at Sun n' Fun I returned to my first-grade classroom excited about adding more 'florida' elements to our space unit. Your images and updates regarding space and the latest launch have been met with much exitement by the students. The night/day images of earth from yesterday prompted much discussion and allowed them to demonstrate a use of their prior knowledge from the previously studied unit. Thank you so much for sharing your resources and passion for space with us educators:) Laurie Dahl Dear Layla Higgins: We hope that he enjoyed meeting the members of EGHS and that he will consider returning in the future. Courtney Baines I just wanted to let you know that Mr. Gabrielle did an outstanding job during our assembly and he came back to do another presentation for our 4-6 students. He was so informative and the students loved the presentation. We enjoyed having him here at Challenger 7 Elementary! He has been sending us wonderful website and other information about the space program. Gabe Gabrielle gave an outstanding presentation to the teachers who attended the annual Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Educators' Workshop on Saturday, April 12, 2008 in Lakeland, FL. He updated them on the latest mission and shared his enthusiasm of the space program. He also provided handouts for everyone who attended. About 150 teachers from throughout Florida as well as several other states attended the workshop. Many were regular attendees but some were there for the first time. Gabe shared so much information and gave them materials that they could go back and use immediately with their classes. They were very happy to have attended his session. We heard many wonderful comments about his presentation and we hope he will join us again next year. Please know that our committee is very appreciative of him being able to participate in our workshop. Thank you very much for all your support. Sincerely,
I want to take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful job Gabe Gabrielle did speaking to my students on January 11th in Clearwater, Florida. His presentation was very educational and presented in such a way that our mentally disabled adult students could understand and enjoy it. Gabe is a wonderful representative for the NASA program. It is shame that funding isn't available to send him out as an ambassador for the NASA program. Thanks again for finding this wonderful gentleman to speak with our students. Brenda Riggins
Dear Gabe, I cannot, Thank You enough, for the presentation, you did here at Upper Pinellas Association for Retarded Citizens on Friday, January 11, 2008. You were wonderful with our consumers, they truly enjoyed every minute of it. It was the talk of the day around here and still this Monday morning. The respect, time and information, you gave to all will be remembered for a long time. People First of UPARC, are very pleased and thankful, they had someone like you and your program come to UPARC. I'm glad, you also came away with a wonderful experience and perspective of our consumers and that you saw them as PEOPLE FIRST, with the abilities they have, regardless of their daily obstacles. I know, you advocate for persons with special needs and I can only imagine, your visit to us has only enhanced that passion for you! Now, I must ask one more thing of you. Please in future regard to us as UPPER PINELLAS ASSOCIATION FOR RETARDED CITIZENS, for there is a Pinellas Association not affiliated with UPARC. My CEO and Director wanted this noted! Thanks! Also please add this email address to your sending list. Thank You Again! Good Thoughts
