Think Day

June 17, 2009

Dear Adam,

Thank you so much for the dynamic and engaging presentation you and your group brought to Pugwash District High School on April 23, 2009.  The themes and issues discussed in your Think Day presentation were highly relevant and really hit home for a lot of our students.  Our students were captivated by the personal stories and enjoyed the interaction.  The presenters were very genuine and sincere, giving their messages a deeper impact.  The addition of the band was incredible and really added energy to the afternoon.  The students were thrilled to see a live band performing at their small, rural school.  (I still see “Ocean Buried” t-shirts on a daily basis!)  This was the kind of presentation that engaged even the most hard-to-reach kids.

Our kids weren’t the only ones impressed.  “Think Day” was all the buzz in the staff room after the presentation as teachers and staff discussed the positive impression you and your group made on our students.  It was like the messages you were sending and the personal anecdotes you were sharing were just what some of our kids needed to hear.  You delivered a strong message to our kids in a way that was accessible to them and not “preachy”.

It is now nearing the end of our school year and students are still talking about Think Day and The Ocean Buried.  This is one experience that has made a positive impression on many students and will be talked about for months to come.  We wholeheartedly recommend your group to other schools and we most certainly would love to invite you back to our school.

Thanks again and we look forward to working with you again in the future!

Sincerely,

Erin Jamieson
Classroom Teacher & Students’ Council Advisor
