act with respect always

“So excited to have my beloved former teacher come in to speak to my campers this week and he inspired them as he has many before them. Mr. Johns’ message of kindness, paying it forward, empathy and character resonated with the kids. He had them really thinking about the simple ways we show respect to each other; a smile, eye contact, listening, and being helpful. Just within the few days left of the program, I saw a difference in how the kids treated each other and the adults who came in to work with them. Mr. Johns has an amazing way of reaching kids with a positive message and inspiring them to be their best!”
