Just wanted to thank you again for another amazing day of everything!! Our students were so inspired and I was too, because of their responses! It was an incredible day! I think you talked to my son at the high school assembly, He said you asked him about his sweatshirt. He loved your presentation and is xcited to go MAD! Thank you again for today!

This is the best PD we’ve ever had! All educators became teachers to make a positive impact on students’ lives, but sometimes we all need to be reminded of just how much impact we can make. The student assembly was amazing! We have great kids! But I am excited to see how the RIPL message makes our champions even better! Thank you for giving of your time and your talent to serve the Lord! You message is so important!

Thank you for a profound and valuable day of RiPL coaches training. After having RiPL training for all adults at our school, as well as being a part of our student RiPL assemblies, I feel honored to be your RiPL effect as a RiPL coach for my school.Oftentimes, training and assemblies are here and gone; each year on to the next thing. The RiPL system is here to stay in every school that it touches because of the opportunity to have RiPL coaches in every district. (Unless there was a way to have "Bens" and "Scotts" all over, all the time :0). As a RiPL coach, I will be able to bring the impactful and imperative RiPL effect into our school. I look forward to helping our school embrace RiPL now, and always.

Just wanted to send you and Scott a note of thanks for the AWESOME training today. What an uplifting day! Your message hits home and always leaves me with so much to
think about. I always leave with a rekindled Fire in my heart and ideas for positive changes with my students. Can’t wait for tomorrow, to continue building those relationships and to be someone’s “RIPL POWER”.

I taught children’s church today and I had 3 MS girls who helped me. I asked them how the RIPL training was at school this past week.They said it was awesome. I asked if they thought it would help people and they said YES! One girl said, “I saw people in tears crying that I thought would never cry. They seem so tough. It’s nice to know they have a heart!”

What energy you have to have to put on such an assembly. The kids were tuned in!! I just hope they follow through with the wonderful message you left with us. Kids are hurting. I see it everyday. Oh, if we all would step up and help. What a world we would live in!! Thank you for coming to the school and sharing with all of us. You were powerful. May God guide and bless both you and Scott as you continue this journey.

You could hear a pin drop in our assembly. Every student and staff member could
relate to the presentation. It was real. It was powerful. Most importantly, it reminded us
all that we are in this thing called life together and we need one another. Our school
and our community is a better place because of our RIPL training.
