A rare Friday for me to speak – so it was just the students today. And it was an impact driven session for both groups. When I asked to the Principals office to help two young girls with their online profile – it was a pleasure to see how my presentation had such an impact that they wanted changes NOW. I look forward to returning in the new school year to reach out to your parents.

Thank You to the students and staff at Joseph A Gibson today for two great sessions. Endless questions from both groups, and a Principal who is very tech savvy. I look forward to my return in December.

Double-Duty day with an awesome audience this evening at St Michael Academy in Markham. What an engaged community of parents who listened for a full 120min! It could have gone on for another hour. I am thankful for the opportunity to speak with such a large audience. Thank You!

Two large groups today at Canadian Martyrs. You could hear a pin drop with the Grade 7/8s – excellent listening… and great questions from both groups! I look forward to returning in September to speak with your parents of the community! Have a great summer!

Back in Niagara speaking at Oakwood PS – two small groups today that had endless questions. Great teachers support on the directives for keeping the children safe and having rules in place. Thank You for having me at your school today!

Thank You St Joseph in Fergus for the warm reception (day and evening). It was a pleasure to speak with your community today. I read EACH and every action item the Grade 4/5/6s submitted to me this evening. They were great to read! What made our evening session unique is that parents from the community, not just the school made it out – and that is what our evenings are all about – excellent community support!

I returned this evening to James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic High School. Thank You to the Principal and Parent Council for allowing me to speak to their community. Great to see students attend also. I look forward to returning next year for your grade 9 & 10s.

We had to get a lot accomplished in short period of time – but the attention given by all your grades was excellent. Great job by parent council to put our evening presentation together with your school project. Fantastic crowd, and we did not leave until 9:15pm! Your feedback was great, and thanks to the students who returned to learn more!

An evening set aside for parents who “wanted more”. Thanks to all the families who attended this evening. We will do this again in February when I return to the area for the full month.
I appreciate your comments you left behind, and quoted a few of you below:
“Great session. Timely, relevant and very impressive” – Parent
“Fantastic” – Parent
“Thank You! Thank You very much. You literally opened my eyes!” – Parent
“The most amazing educational conference that I’ve been to lately” – Parent
“Fabulous! Excellent refresher to the information you share” (Parent who has seen this presentation before)

I will never forget the innocence of the grade 6 girl who told me a story about her life growing up on a farm. It was wonderful to listen to her. Both groups of students today were excellent. The Grade 7/8s are very technology savvy students, with great questions. I read ALL of your comments right after the presentation, and was pleased to see what you will do once you go home and connect online. Thank You to the parents who attended the day session today – great feedback!
