Dear Vaden,
Thank you for the opportunity to offer Absolute to our school population once again this year. AS with last year’s presentation, the youth had very positive energy and feedback about the impact of the presentation on them. Certainly, the ideas and themes presented left youth with a lot to consider and talk about in regards to decisions that they will make in their every day lives. The messages delivered by Absolute are in keeping with the messages youth hear from the Teen Health Center in classroom presentations and through Peer Health Education.
We really appreciated the organization, preparedness and tightness of the crew in regards to set up and presentation. Quite frankly, they required very little assistance from us to set up and dismantle the stage and the show went off without a hitch. Ryan, Michelle and the whole crew are courteous, friendly and outgoing and immediately connected with youth and staff alike. The multi-media presentation was fast-paced and exciting and the hour flew by. The youth were engaged the whole presentation which is an accomplishment with 1000+ youth all together at once!
This year, we have put particular emphasis on understanding and addressing social justice issues. Certainly, the work that Absolute does with Hero Holiday as well as promoting youth to take action on social justice issues, particularly child poverty, had a huge impact on the youth and amplified this message within the school. From what I am hearing, many youth are interested in doing more about child poverty through World Vision and in other ways.
Thank you for offering this worthwhile presentation and recognizing the importance of opening discussions with youth about the things that are typically not talked about in school. We look forward to working with you again and wish you the best of luck as you continue to offer workshops throughout the country.
Thank you,
