I wanted to let you know how powerful an experience the “Quest I’m On” day was for the students of Roberts and for me personally. I was impressed with how well the day was structured and how each activity progressed developing a “sense to safety and sensitivity” within the participants. It was hard ...

Dear Jack, Today was a great experience overall for me because I got to know other students more and learned the qualities of a leader. This taught me to improve my listening skills, and to become a better person. Thank you for taking your time to come to Madonna. (original message)

Well this is second time coming to Quest I’m On and all I can say is you got me again! You guys are probably the best speakers I have ever heard and you just inspire me so much to grow and do something like this when I’m older. The hardest parts of today ...

The only thing I can say is that I wish something like this had existed when I went to school some 12 years ago. I think it would have made a world of difference towards what I had to endure. I was picked on my whole life for one reason or another, not ...

There should be more things like this & uplifting things for schools on a regular basis. Great for boys to be allowed to cry. They’re always expected to be tough. (original message)

Dear Jack, This experience today has been life changing. I was unsure of what to expect coming into this, but I have left with a complete new mindset. Today you taught me things that I’ve never known before. There’s a lot going on in my life and I’ve been through a lot. I ...

I really wasn’t going to come today but I glad I did come. You guys were a blast. I wish that we could get you to come back and do this again. Your program Quest I’m On is really great and you guys have to be amazing that you can go through all ...

I enjoyed Quest I’m On very much. I found that my group was very open and felt comfortable sharing their feelings. I enjoyed sharing my stories and views, and believe that they were welcome in my group. Thank you for allowing everyone open up and express themselves comfortably.

I really appreciate you coming to G.L. an letting us share our feelings. In November I did the program and it’ll never get old to me. I wouldn’t mind doing this 100 more times. I hope grade 9’s or even every grade from grade 6 & higher can get this chance. I can ...

Dear Jack, Today’s class has taught me a lot. I learned who I really was & all my faults. I have realized the events that occurred in my life. I promise with all my heart to make the future events less painful and instead make it brighter. PS. Thank you! (original message)

I feel I have so many new people to talk to!

Frankie age 15, grade 10

Thanks for your program. I truly think it helped many of our students express their concerns. All too often I see students at a loss and have no one to talk to. This day gave them a chance to talk about the things that never get said, but should. Thanx for everything. (

Jack, you have the most amazing job and you also seem to have an incredible talent for reaching young people. Reading these letters has motivated me even more. In fact, here is my letter to you… Dear Jack, How can our school ever thank you for making our girls realize their worth and ...

Dear Jack, This was a very emotional experience and I learned a lot. I learned to trust, to accept and to forgive others. Hopefully I keep these lessons with me for the rest of my life. This was a truly unique experience and I hope I will be able to do this again. ...

Dear Jack, I had a really nice time for the anti-bullying workshop. This workshop made me experience a lot of things and that younger children need help. And I really thank you for letting me in this workshop and seriously it changed, especially the water line. I liked it and made me see ...

It was great to let our emotions just be free for a day!!

Time just flew by so quickly that we did not get time to complete the agenda. Everyone was quite upbeat. Thanks to you!

Dear Jack, First foremost, I wanna say thank you for such a wonderful experience. The workshop was great! The first few workshops that was in class made everyone know a little bit about each one of us and in a way made us respect one another. When we went to the first workshop ...

Dear Jack, Thank you for coming to help us throughout this workshop. This improved my communication skills a lot. Come back to Bosco next year to help the next ones doing this activity. There’s really nothing to improve on since the workshops were successful. (original message)
