"What qualities make a program that really excites a school? I think that we could judge it by children who are paying close attention to the speaker, and laughing, and are totally involved in the presentation. If this is what we aim for, then your program was a complete success! Becoming your best and bullying are appropriate topics for young students. Thank you for a great show."
