“It was amazing to watch a room of 1000 students become completely silent in complete awe of Kelly’s drawing. Kelly’s message of ‘bullying ends where leadership begins’ was the perfect theme for our middle schoolers. Kelly enjoyed absolute positive feedback from both staff and students! One week after his visit, staff members and students were still stopping me and commenting how much they enjoyed having him here. The artwork and handouts he left are constant reminders of the importance of helping each other and to end bullying. We would love to have him back in the future.”
