Holy Name today – in the Windsor-Essex Catholic School Board.
Today started off with a Grade 9 session. Then a Grade 7/8 session. I returned in the afternoon for an invitational (and informal) Grade 12 presentation, which ended up being ALL Grade 12s – awesome! Finally, a parent presentation this evening. A great way to start my three days in the #WECDSB

The last day of May brings me back to Transfiguration in the Toronto Catholic School Board. Two sessions with students/staff – including an interesting Grade 7/8 session that involved staff also.
Thank You to the Principal, who has now asked me to speak twice in just over three years, to his community.

Ecole Sacre-Coeur in Georgetown today. Two very good sessions with small groups of students. The smaller forums allowed for more interactive sessions, which the students enjoyed. Thanks to the parents and staff that returned this evening to hear the parent session. A great day in the community of Georgetown.

Awesome day at Glynn A Green! I had to stop both student Q&A sessions due to lack of time – but the student interest was excellent! Great parent support this evening, and joining us were two Principals from nearby schools to take in the message.
Thankful to be part of your community today.

A Principal who saw me at a conference 18 months ago, asked me to speak to his school today.

Hawthorne Village today, in the Halton District School Board. Two large groups of students (very well behaved) – with lots of questions. I am sorry we had to cut the Q&A off in each session due to time. Thanks to the parents who attended this evening, and for their great feedback. And Thanks to the School Principal for asking me back already!!
“Fabulous! Going home to make some changes!” Krisha, Parent – Hawthorne Village PS.

Excellent day at St Ann, in a lovely area of St Catharines. As the Grade 4/5/6 session came to a close, it was time for recess. I ended the Q&A, but the children unanimously chose to give up their recess and stay back to keep asking questions – AWESOME! Who needs the break anyway. The 7/8s followed right after. This evening was a great interactive group with the parents. Thank You to the Constable at Niagara Regional Police for her awesome feedback.
“Excellent Presentation. An Absolute MUST for parents” Nikki, Parent – St Ann

Thank You Midland Secondary School – I returned today to speak with the parent community. I was rewarded with a story from the Principal as to how my presentation to the students had a group of them speak out, about a matter that was not previously addressed & was brought forth to administration, after my session.
