Thousand Island Leann Hill Act With Respect Always

Thousand Island students act with respect always

“Good Evening,

I am a teacher at Thousand Islands where you spoke today. I was the one with 6 special needs students in the front row. 6 students who struggled to listen and sit still, who only made it through half the presentation, who were the kids you were speaking so much about. I had tears in my eyes for much of my time there because your message was so simple and meaningful, yet so lacking in our world. I have a special place in my heart for my students and others like them, and to see there is good done for them (by you) makes me so happy.

I wanted to stick around to thank you personally for the message and signed book, it meant a lot to me! Unfortunately, my students could not sit any longer and a snack and sensory break were a priority. So, thank you. Your presentation and messages were touching. I hope more people, of all ages can find the 99 in their life to share with others.”

Thank you again,
Leann Hill
