Great way to start my week with students.  Thanks to the Principal for sitting in, and listening to the message.

A 60min refresher today for students at Divine Mercy, Grade 4/5/6.  That was followed by students giving up their recess to stay back and ask questions.

Thank You Sunset Heights in Oshawa!  Wonderful day with the students, and this evening with the parents.  Your Principal sat in all three presentations today – and got a first hand account of how each message was delivered.  We had good Q&A from all sessions.

Due to a school conflict, I spoke with the parents tonight, and will return on a Friday in May to speak with the students.

This is my second visit to the school in three years.  A very supportive group of parents.  See you next month.

Two schools joined forces today in Belleville to have me speak to a larger community.  Great day at the high school and grade school, and then this evening with the parents who gathered back at the high school.  It proved to be a successful formula.  Thank You for the opportunity!  Great poster to promote the event too!

Duke of Cambridge School – A grade 8 student wrote to me “I’ve seen similar presentations – this is by far, the best”.

It was great being the first speaker at a wonderful new facility.  Parent support was excellent, and Thank You to the two Law Enforcement officers who identified themselves to me, about speaking to their respective agencies in the future..

The City of Vaughan, and Councillor Tony Carella invited me to speak to his Ward this afternoon.  It was great to be asked by the City in which this started to return and speak to parents/students – on a Sunday!  A special thanks to the father who drove 75min from Waterloo, because his Grade 8 daughter told him to see my presentation.  That’s amazing!

“THE BEST Presentation we have had all year! Powerful!” Principal, Fisherville PS

I headed to Fisherville this morning to speak with the Grade 7/8s today.

The response from the Principal is a great summary of my time with the students

Allenby PS in the Toronto District School Board.  300+ Grade 4/5/6s.  Excellent audience.  And a very in-tune parent audience this evening, with lots of note-taking.  The high-light of my day:  A mother who returned with a hand written letter from her 10yr old daughter, thanking me for my message, and the impact it had on her.  Seeing the emotion in the mother as she described how I “moved” her daughter – made me speechless…. and that’s hard to do.
