I want to again say thank you for your presentation to the students at Harney Middle School. Your message of hard work, making good choices, kindness and acceptance of each other are profound. Many schools in todays’ society deal with all types of bullying on a daily – on a minute by minute – basis. It is a shame that more people don’t take a stand against bullying. You bring home the point to students that a simple apology does not erase the pain and hurt of their words and actions. Your hands on visual activity of the broken glass never being the same again will hopefully follow them throughout their lives.

Thank you for challenging our students to be better people, to behave better and to be more accepting of others and their differences.

Thank you for the wonderful and relevant professional development on culturally responsive teaching back in January.

 In my informal conversations with the teachers who attended since then, the general consensus is that they felt they had bonded with their colleagues who attended and were able to understand their colleagues at a deeper cultural level beyond having common outside interests or hobbies. I also think that if teachers modeled how you bonded with the group, we can take common interests/backgrounds and use that to build a rapport with our students. 

Johnnie is very skilled in speaking with individuals as well as groups. Johnnie is able to quickly adapt to his audience and use terminology, style and contentthat best gets his message across

Johnnie Williams should be lecturing young students in every local school. I witnessed a presentation that definitively left a sense of reflection. I firmly believe his work is worth every minute of attention. Keeps his public in full participation. A great work from a young intellectual, smart man. 

I can speak for everyone in saying we felt your presentation was AMAZING! The message about the value of all people, through the use of a dollar, absolutely struck home! Your style of having a “conversation” with the parents was also very strong.

I was able to attend your presentation/workshop on bullying last night, and was very impressed.  

I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday. It was awesome the way you opened up the floor to courageous conversations. Everyone was beginning to open up and have some long awaited conversations. 

The Clark County School District (CCSD) is encouraged by the response we have received from teachers, administrators and parents who have witnessed, and participated in the presentations facilitated by you on the topic of anti-bullying.

You are to be commended for taking a proactive approach to motivate andinspire the young people of Nevada to embrace education for their own benefit and the benefit of the state.

On behalf of the Public Education Foundation, I would like to thank you for your generous discount on your leadership presentation for We R Community.

Mr. Williams, thank you for the chance to win some money, but your example gave me the key to unlock the future and that is more priceless than money.
