Personally – I can’t wait to get back to the schools and start up again.  Looking forward to a great second half of the school year!

And finally, to end the 2012 calendar – St Anne in lovely Belle River!  A very large group of students today – and great questions from the assembly.  Thank You for allowing me to speak to your student body today

Thank You St Gregory – a great day and evening at your school with students and parents.  I’d also like to thank CTV News for coming on-site for the quick interview.  The feedback from parents was fantastic.  I look forward to returning!

Thank You to a very supportive Principal and staff for a great day.  When parents tell me that the dinner conversation was all about what their children learned today – that makes my day!

A small community in Windsor Essex, St Mary had a very respectful group of students, and very engaged parents.  To the mother who took on the “ipod challenge” with her daughter- your email to me was priceless… and I am glad there was a positive result.  Pass on the message to other parents!

Amazing day at Steve McLean!  Two very engaged student groups during the day – and capacity parent attendance during the evening (two open seats left).  Your VP had me return from his previous school last year – and I certainly appreciate the opportunity to speak, and your support!  Awesome feedback from the parents in attendance.

A day for me to remember.  Today I spoke to over 800 students, bringing my total to 100,000 students spoken to in just under three years.  This was my second time at St Francis Xavier, and a big Thank You to the students who remembered me from last year, and approached me to “talk tech”.  I love your passion for technology and to be safe!  Thanks to the parents who attended this evening (and those who were here last year!).  A Great Day!
