Honoured to return to St. Jean du Brebuef in Bradford today. As the Grade 4/5/6s arrived, I could hear some of the Grade 6 girls look and point in my direction making reference to seeing me two years ago. What a great feeling. Thank You to Parent Council and the Principal for having me return, and to be asked back in two years!
Thank You Constable Robert (South Simcoe Police), for your support this evening.

A parent showed up tonight saying “my child insisted I attend”.
Another parent said “we could not get her to stop talking at dinner about your presentation”
That is what makes my day. A child going home engaging their parents on my time with them.
Thank You to parent council for allowing me to speak with your community

I returned to Louis Riel in the S.W. today. My second visit in two years.
Thanks to the Principal who believes in the importance of my message to his students and parents.
Thank You to the parents who braved the zero temps tonight. And a special Thank You to the mother who has seen me three times, during my trips to the Calgary area. See you in January.

Where has the month gone? My last day in September had me speaking at Colonel Macleod school.
My eye opening example at the end of the Grade 7/8/9 session, brought a group of Grade 9 students to surround me asking “how did you do that”. Loved their interest! A solid group of parents this evening – with great marketing by the school to get a large audience.

Thank You to Sir Wilfrid Laurier (CBE) – two great sessions with the students today, and parents tonight. When you have to get extra chairs for the parents’ session – I think the students went home and explained the importance of the presentation for them as a parent!

This evening (Saturday) I returned to the Stampede grounds to speak to the parents of the Youth I had the pleasure of speaking to yesterday.
Thank You to the organizers of the event for hosting my two evenings with your community!

This evening (Friday) I spoke to approx 200 students from various yourth groups with the Calgary Stampede.
From ages 12 – 21. It offered an interesting deliverable to cover a vast age group – with positive results.

Three excellent sessions at St Margaret today! Wonderful to see parents not only from St Margaret, but from other schools (because they were not able to see me the night I was at their own school).
Loved the feedback from parents tonight – I was happy to share them all with your Principal.

Second day in a row, I had the honour of returning to a school again! But today the Calgary Girls School made me work a litter harder delivering FOUR presentations including the parents.
The girls this year were very direct in their questions.. the semi-circle of girls asking questions after the presentations, was AWESOME!
Parents – thanks again for attending, to the new parents who joined them!
