On this Friday, I spent the day with two student groups at St Monica in Markham.  I was honoured to read from them after I left.

Almost 12 months after my first visit, I returned to St Mary in Oakville today.   Students were attentive as last year, and tonight we TRIPLED our parent audience from last time.   Word of mouth – can’t beat it.   Awesome to be back and make an impact on the community.

Today in front of her mother and father, a 9 year old girl shared a comment that I will never forget.  “Thank You for making everyone understand”..  Which reflected why her parents had rules and guidelines in her home for online safety.   Impacting students is incredibly rewarding.    Thank You to staff and parents for a great day.

An excellent day at Birch Cliff today with students and parents.  Thank You to  Parent Council who worked to get me to your school 11 months ago!  The Q&As with the grade 7/8 classes was very tech savvy.

This afternoon, I returned for my fourth visit to Our Lady of Hope in Richmond Hill.

It is honestly an honour when a Principal invites me back multiple times, knowing the students will benefit from my message.  On a side note – great to be remembered by this year’s Grade 8 class, who were sharing stories from last year, and their session.   Thank You!

I am honoured to return today and speak with the Grade 12 students at Cardinal Carter.

In a session tailored for a group of students who will shortly be graduating from this IB School, the students responded very well and were focused.

Thank You for inviting me back.

Thank You to the Principals and Parent Council for inviting me to speak with your community.

Day two in Grimsby had me speaking at St Joseph today.  Like yesterday, a wonderful day with student and parents.  I am very appreciative of the kind though from Parent Council on their gift – which reflected the day and the message of keeping our kids safe.    Thank You

Thank You to the Principal for having me at his new school (after seeing me twice before) in Grimsby, Ontario.

Wonderful parent turn-out this evening to compliment a great day with the students.
