Thank You to Hollycrest Middle School in the TDSB for inviting me to speak with students and parents today.

One interesting point – when a teacher (a child of a police officer)  listens to my presentation to students, and then returns this evening with her own children..  job done!

The parents this evening had endless questions – and it was a humid night.. thanks for hanging in!

The success of this day is due to all the hard work of a mother at St John The Evangelist in Whitby Ontario.

She went above and beyond with marketing to parents, other schools and to her community.

Today’s student sessions were attended by two Police Officers with Durham Regional Police – Thank You for supporting the message!

Excellent evening with parents!  Thank You!

Two student presentations today, followed a full house of parents from Broadview and Elmwood PS together this evening.  Thank You to the VP who saw me at another school for inviting me to her new school today.

Parents were very engaged with good Q&A.

I look forward to returning in October 2016!

A small community 35min from Ottawa, I spent the day at St Mary in Carleton Place today.

An awesome parent audience this evening (extra chairs required) to support the message today with students.

Thank You!

My second stop today was at St Gabriel in Kanata, Ontario

I spoke to the Grade 4/5/6s in the afternoon, and then welcomed their parents this evening.

Thank You to the Principal and parents for inviting me to your community.

The day started off at Elmdale PS in Ottawa with Grade 4/5/6s (and their parents too!)

What is normally a 1hr session lasted 90+min…    Excellent students!

Great to hear parents will be attending at another school Wednesday night in your area.

The challenge today? Get 65min of material down to under 18min for TEDx

Knowing it’s impossible, I had to create a piece specific for this event.  Unique for me, as 18 min cannot do justice to my usual delivery.

Thank You to the organizers of the event for having me speak to 500+ students today.

I enjoyed my day!

In Port Colbourne today at Dewitt Carter in the Niagara School Board.

The one day we had snowed-out in December came to pass today, and it was well worth the wait.

A wonderful day with students and parents.

Best part of the day – both Principals had me at previous schools, and invited me to their new school.

Two awesome sessions with students today – I had to cut off Q&A in both groups due to time restrictions.

A great parent turnout this evening!  It was warm – and you stayed for 90min

Thank You for asking me back in September 2016!  I look forward to returning.
