WOW! What an engaged parent community! I thought we were going to break a time record with Q&A and the discussion that each segment in the presentation had started. Your feedback for this evening was tremendous. Thank You. Parent Council did a great job in marketing to bring a very good crowd out this evening. Students – Great questions, and you had your parents asking a lot of questions!

Today we brought to the attention of teachers and parents how young your students are engaging with certain technologies. Our Grade 3/4 session was an eye opener for many. Great questions from both large groups today. Thank You to the parents for attending this evening and parent council for bringing this day together. And when a Principal tells another that “Paul Davis rocks” – I’ll take that as a compliment!

Tilbury, ONT – St Joseph CES. The grade 7/8 group was the quietest group I have ever spoken to. The message hit home early, and they were focused! Great to see some of the students encourage their parents to attend the evening presentation. Thank you to the visiting Principal from another school in the Board who attended and now has asked me to speak at her school in the 2013/2014 calendar. My first trip to Tilbury was great. Great feedback from all the parents who attended.

It was a double duty day!! This afternoon I spoke at my first all French school in St Joachim. A great Principal with excellent staff support who participated in the student presentation. For a small school, you brought out a great parent audience this evening, and one that was very engaged!! The feedback from parents was excellent. I appreciate the opportunity to speak with your community.

500+ students today at Talbot Trail in Windsor this morning. Both audiences were excellent. Great job by the school and very respectful groups. The non-stop questioning from the students shows their keen interest in understanding how to be safe online.

From Wasaga to Windsor overnight, to be at Roseland for the first of five presentations during this very busy day. A great day at both schools, with very attentive audiences. Great feedback from both school Principals advising how the message “got through” Thank You to parents who attended this evening, and your kind feedback.
