Email of the day: Or until I get one that I like better...(I leave up the other ones.)

Mr. Tassell,
 
Thank you for such great presentations.  Our kids really loved your talks.  I hope we see a change in attitude in some of the kids.
 
We are definitely going to buy some more books.  Many of the kids want one for themselves.  I have called Patty and arranged to get them ordered.  I was wondering if we can somehow get them signed by you.  I know we talked briefly about it.  If you can think of a way to do this, please let me know.  If not, that is ok too. 
 
Thanks again!

What you all may not know is that I am actually a hypnotist.  I walk in put them all under tell them they had a great time, and then that they will feel like they had a great nights sleep, and I am out of there in under 20 minutes.  Oh and I tell them to order more books.
 

Dear Brad

I am a fifth grade teacher doing a capstone project for my technology endorsement. I come to fifth grade all the way from kindergarten and the one thing I have dealt with most is bullying. This is the reason I have decided to make this the object of my capstone project. My students are going to read your book, do some research, listen to a presentation given by the counselor and then make a movie to educate parents and other fifth grades on recognizing and dealing with bullies (utilizing many of the resources found on your website).

 

It has taken me all year to find a worthwhile project and I would love to have you speak to my students. I would also like to get your permission to allow some of my students to play act parts from your book for demonstration in our movie. I would certainly give you credit and recommend your book to parents.

In addition, I would love to repeat this project next year and have you make a visit to our school. My principal gave me the go ahead to make an invitation. We are located in Canton, GA about 30-40 miles north of Atlanta. Our school is called Macedonia Elementary. Thanks for your book, any help you may offer, and for the wealth of resources I found at your website.

 

Sincerely,

Joanna Leifeld

 

Okay, this is way too cool....

 

Dear Brad and Pat;

Thank you so much for your reply.  I am really excited about this.  I have to tell you that I love our school.  I think that our principal and staff have all the right stuff to make the school even better. I just know that our principal tends to look at the school more academically and sometimes forgets the social aspect of it.  He is a math man so totally understandable.  Also he is a VERY present principal and I absolutely love that about him.  The kids really like him.  He is always very welcoming of these ideas and programs but just doesn’t come up with them on his own.  Cost is another thing he has to look at.  So I think that when I am finished with all the particulars and present it to him that he will welcome this easily.   I already have the PSA’s support which is where the money will most likely come from and I am going to meet with the president of the school board as well.  She is a wonderful lady. 

As far as the STAY CALM.  That is one that I had to learn early on.  I am 100% Italian with a hot temper.  I had that “you can mess with me but not my kid” thing going for a while in my brain, but thankfully never acted on them without thinking it through.  Thankfully I married a wonderful man that helps me channel that fury into positive change.  I have not lost my cool yet at the school.  That is why when I found your book it just opened my eyes for a fun, new and interesting way to bring a great message to a great school. I love the simplicity of it all, we just have to work on the follow through. I look forward to meeting you and talking to Pat to get this rolling.

There is nothing I love more than people who realize thier foibles and work on changing them.  Bravo Cindy, Bravo....  Let's also not she married a man named Helms and he helps steer her the right way...

previous emails of the day....

Brad 
Thanks for responding.  No one has gotten back with me about trainings or conferences or presentations on Dont Feed the Bully  .  I would like information so I can see what the cost would be for you to come to Hillman Michigan and present your works.  I have been doing readings/presentations to the 5 and 6 grades on your book and the dynamics of bullying and how bullies present themselves and how students can avoid confrontation with a bully.  It would be great to have the author of the book and your view on bullying to help these students really grasp the concept. Some bullying has stopped, some continues because the victims just can't or won't change how they react to the bully.  Please have someone get in contact with me with information and costs.  I can be reached at Hillman Elementary 245 3rd Street Hillman Michigan 49746. My email is.  Thank-you and I am looking to hear from you.   Meg
 
Yes, I have let you all know that I am not as quick as I could be getting back with everyone, but I am out of the country a great deal.  But look how wonderful Meg is taking it in stride, and sticking to it.  Can't wait to see you and the school.  Also I am brimming with pride that the book has helped them with their bullying...
