It was an honour this week to receive A letter of reference from a Calgary Police Cyber Crimes Division Officer.

It really meant a lot to read (many times over!).

A mother who attended a presentation three weeks ago, asked for me to speak at a Parent&Family Invite function today (Yes, again on a Friday night).  How could I resist!  Well, she got families together, and we spend two hours this evening talking at all levels.  That is dedication..  for families to allocate their Friday night on education.  Thanks for making this happen!

Friday brings me to Summit Heights in the TDSB.  Students (along with some of their parents) listened to my message, in a focused 70min session.  A Very good group.  Before I left – the parent council decided to have me return and speak to the parent community next year, and one teacher asked me to speak at his son’s school…  Thank You!

My second visit to Orchard Park.  The word-of-mouth from my first visit was very powerful in this community, as we had a GREAT parent turnout this evening.  Parents from other schools attended.  And to make my day: A mother drove her Grade 6 daughter 165km to see me (from just outside London, ON).  Why? Mom saw me last week in London, but her daughter missed the day presentation, and believe she NEEDED to see it. That is truly and honour!

Day one of two in Niagara starts off at Smith PS today.  Two presentations to the students followed by the parents tonight. I believe a job is well done, when the Principal asks “when should we have you back”, before you leave!  Thank You!

Ascension of Our Lord Secondary School in Mississauga.  One session with the Grade 9/10s this morning, and then a staff Lunch and Learn right after.  Thank You for the opportunity to speak with your students/staff.

The day started early in Midland at Midland Secondary School speaking to 600 students (I will post about this later).  I then went to Victoria Harbour and spent the day with students at St. Antoine Daniel.   From 600 students in one session to approx 2 x 50 students in two sessions – vastly different in approach – but the both very effective.  Great day at both schools.

Today, I was honoured with the opportunity to speak to all administrators at the WECDSB.  Two  60min sessions of a trimmed down version of my traditional parent presentation.

In the small town of Blenheim (outside of Chatham), two schools partnered up for a presentation to the students today, and parents this evening.  A successful day, with great support from the Principals of both schools.

Today, I presented to two small schools who partnered up and had me to speak with both student audiences.  A grade 8 girl was very honest and direct when telling me she was not looking forward to “another safety presentation”..  and then after, said it was the best presentation she had ever seen – And then RETURNED with her mother tonight!   Very rewarding.
