Thank You Canadian Martyrs CES – great to be at your school and present to your students and parents. Sorry we had to stop both Q&A sessions – but happy that you have so many questions! Parents – Thanks for keeping me 2.5hrs this evening! You were very engaged in conversation & questions. Your feedback was great to read.

“Your presentation to the students was very informative. The students at St Jude told me they thought it was the best presentation they had ever seen” Teacher, St Jude CES, Mississauga

Thank You to Glendale PS for a great day. You have a very passionate group of parents that had some very good conversation during our evening session. Your school is fortunate to have two strong IT professionals who are part of the parent community and can help with their knowledge of security. Thank You for having me at your school

Thank You to the students and staff for having me speak today at Mary Ward. I will always remember the grade 8 student to approached me after and said “SIr, that was %$#@ ” The phrase used was later translated into meaning “great”. The staff at Mary Ward was very supportive in returning to the evening session. Thank You!

Thank You to the staff and students at St Jean de Brefeuf CES. Thank You to the mother of a grade 7 girl who indicated how her daughter deleted an online profile (and so did her friends), of something they did not need to have. Great support from local law enforcement at my grade 7/8 presentation today. I look forward to returning!

This week I presented 20 times (16 to students and 4 to parents), in four days. Yes – five per day! A record for me – and one that I will probably not try and break. As rewarding of a week that it was, it does take a toll on your body. But! The rewards overpower the physical demands anytime! I will update shortly as I read through the comments and feedback from the week.

Day four – and my last five presentations. Starting off at Greendale in Niagara and off to Woodlands in St Catharines. I was especially impressed by one child at Greendale that asked me a question that would have taken hours to reply – very open ended. I suggested and guided the young man to research the answer and prepare a one to two page response. Once done, to present it to his classmates, and champion the knowledge of his question. To my surprise and the excitement of the adults – he agreed. I can’t wait for the report which the school will provide me! Parents from Woodlands had great attendance and support. Thank You for your great feedback from today.

Day three in Niagara, and five more presentations. Two schools with some very good questions from all groups. The highlight was the student who returned with his dad and yelled “that’s him!” as he pointed to me in the hallway. The parents were great – a quiet bunch… Excellent day and evening! Thank You for having me at both your schools!

Day two in the Niagara area, with two more schools and five more presentations today. Excellent job by the schools working together to get a great parent turnout this evening. The students has great questions, were very attentive, and very respectful. The audience this evening had a wonderful sense of humour, to make the serious message a little easier to digest. Thank You for your amazing feedback from the evening and day.
