Cost and General Information

We can plan YOUR day to meet YOUR objectives by email or by phone, whichever you prefer. 

My Professional Fee for local school visits (within 50 miles of 80126) includes 2 assemblies and 2 workshops for $1200. 

This is considered a full day.

The most common day usually includes an assembly for 1-3 and then 4-6 and two workshops for the intermediate students by grade groups. I can handle any size workshop.  I will be happy to stop by the Kindergarten room to speak briefly with those students but find their participation in an assembly is tricky for them and me at times.

Additional assemblies and workshops are $250 each. The day can be adjusted to suit YOUR school's needs. 

Minimum school visit includes the half day option includes:

two assemblies or

one assembly and one workshop

or two workshops and is $600.

Evening events are $500 and best performed after a daytime visit to the school.

For schools outside of the Denver metro area, the minimum is $1300.

For schools outside the Denver metro area that require an overnight stay the minimum is $1500.

Travel expense at $0.75 per mile driven, round trip (mapquest from 80126 for mileage) and other expenses such as parking at airport paid by school district.

For travel beyond Colorado, fees are a minimum of $1500 per day. Schools pay lodging,travel expenses, and meals ) I prefer not to have school lunches please, after over 500+ school lunches in the last eight years I have to request non-school lunches. (Per diem for meals @ $15 for breakfast, $20 for lunches and $35 for dinners.

I have visited out of state locations for a week at a time, seeing numerous schools and being involved in literacy meetings and parent nights. This is good for a school district to pool resources to share expenses for travel and lodging.

Books ordered by students and staff prior to the school visit day will be supplied on the day of my visit. Simply send the flyer home (see download on forms blog), accumulate orders and email two days prior with a count per title and I will pack them with me.  I do always bring some extras for those last minute orders. I do this so you don't have to spend time working between the publishers and distributors to bring in the books or returns either.
