Frank Nardelli “Dove Academy is the first school in Michigan to publish a children's book through Mascot Books! Our school's children's book, We Love the Dove!, that I wrote in the fall of 2009 will be a keepsake for our school community for many years to come. The book captures in personalized words and colorful illustrations the culture of our school. We hope that long after
our students complete their experience at our Academy, they will be
able to read through We Love the Dove! and reflect upon the many happy memories they developed during their time at our school. In addition to capturing "a day in the life" of Dove Academy, we were able to highlight some key elements of our No Excuses University Program. Dove Academy is also the first No Excuses University (NEU) Program in the state of Michigan, so we were proud to present the key features of our NEU Program in our book. The Mascot Books team made the experience easy for me and provided all the support I needed to become an author! Thank you Mascot Books for helping us a create a book that our entire school community will treasure. On a personal note, thank you for helping me realize a life long dream to become a children's author. I can't wait to work with you again!”
— Frank Nardelli, Principal, Dove Academy
Damen Lopez “The partnership between Mascot Books and the No Excuses University college readiness endeavor is one that has produced great excitement for our network of schools. With nearly 38,000 students represented in our endeavor, Mascot Books works to promote the knowledge of college in
the most practical, kid friendly terms possible. Their abundance of "college knowledge" resources supports our 2000 plus teachers in promoting
a message that makes college a reality for our students at ever grade
level. And while students, parents, and teachers love Mascot Books for
their outstanding literature, we love them for their collaborative spirit.
The No Excuses University Network of Schools is excited about developing
a lasting partnership with Mascot Books. I encourage you to unite with
all of us in this joint venture of promoting college readiness for all.”
— Damen Lopez, Founder, No Excuses University
Shani Seidel “It’s so rewarding to partner with elementary school principals and parent volunteers and to help them promote reading, build school spirit and raise money for their school. Working closely with schools that are part of the prestigious NEU network is an added privilege. NEU schools work hard at promoting college readiness and their enthusiasm and commitment shines through in their one-of-a-kind books. It’s a joy to work with NEU schools and to help them bring their mascot and their school to life in a book that
is as unique as their school!”
