What an attentive group (both of them) of students today. The feedback from the students and parents was tremendous! I am honoured that you immediately request my return in October to take part in a further presentation to your community. It means a great deal to make such an impact within your whole community. Thanks for a great day… and for keeping me until 10pm!!!

Thank You to the staff and students for a great day at your school. A special thanks to the female student who remembered me from two years ago! “I remember YOU!” which is a good sign! I read each and every message the grade 6 students put together as a follow-up project after I left. They were great to read!

I wrap up my week at Harold Panabaker PS. Thank You to the staff and students for a wonderful day, and to the great parent turnout this evening to support the adult message. A special thanks to the parent inviting me over for a dinner in September when I return… that was a first. There were two more “firsts” from your school today, and those great stories were shared with the parents this evening. Thanks for the great feedback from parents and teachers this evening.

Another great reception at Bishop Pinkham today from both students and parents. The student questions from grade 7/8/9s were very targeted. It was a pleasure to be able to give direction. Thank You to the parents who attended and made the whole day possible. Your feedback was amazing.

Louis Riel PS – a great day with the students and parents. Thank to you the mom who returned to see me for a third time this evening (in only four weeks in Calgary this year). Your students were great, and parents very engaging. A special thanks to the school Principal who made a great offer to assist in my Sept 2013 family presentation (details to follow).

A school totally connected with technology! I really enjoyed speak from grade 4 to grade 9 girls today on the safe use of technology and social networking. When speaking with the older girls, we ran into overtime, and had to rush them out to the buses! And even though we ran late, 25-30 girls stayed behind to ask even more questions. Very rewarding! Thank you for the great parent support that turned out this evening – who also made it a night that ran into overtime! But like I always state – I won’t leave until the last question is answered! Thank You Calgary Girls School!

Thank You Bishop Marrocco HS for allowing me to speak to your parents and students this evening. Some great dialogue before the presentation on our children and their electronics. You are sure to have great debates further to this presentation between staff and students!
