A great day with the students at Arbour Lake PS. Both groups had endless questions. I appreciate the group of students who stayed after the school day had ended who asked more questions. When I hear a young girl say ” Thank You, Thank You, Thank You” – it’s an awesome feeling!! Parents – you spent a long (cold) night at the school – thank you for the great feedback!

Friday’s are generally down time for me. Given that I am spending the weekend in a great city, I thought to use the day to speak to another school. This morning I spent time with the students at Ascension of our Lord. Excellent questions from both groups (and even the teachers!). Thank You to the two team leaders in grade 4-6 who took some very important notes for the group.

A great day at Christ the King School. Two large and very attentive group of students. Thank You to the parents who attended this evening – and their comments and questions. Excellent feedback from your Principal on how the day impacted the students once I left.

Today was a record setting day thanks to Tom Baines. This evening set the the mark for most parents that attended my presentation – from start to end, we hit 2.5hrs with all your Q&A, and most of you stayed!!! Excellent marketing/efforts by the team at Tom Baines. This was real community effort. The students today (and two very large groups) were excellent. The feedback forms that I just finished reading from parents were tremendous. Thank You!

A double duty day for me today. Starting off at BCS. It was a pleasure to speak to your student body today – both very captive and great questions. I look forward to returning next week to speak to your parents!

Two very large groups of students today – and very respectful and attentive. A reflection of great leadership at Nose Creek. The students questions were excellent. Thanks to the parents who attended with evening – I know you had a choice – Oprah or Paul Davis (yes, Oprah was in town speaking the same time I was). Thank You for the great feedback!

From Nellie McClung to John Ware for more students & parent presentations. Excellent audience this evening. Sorry for running overtime, but thankful that not one person left! The parent interaction during the presentation is what I look for each and every night. A great day at both schools!

Thank You to the staff and students for allowing me to speak with your school today. Very good conversation/follow-up with the Grade 6 class kept behind, in search of more direction. Loved It! Excellent feedback from the parent community this evening
