for parents

Evening Workshop (60-90 minutes)

The importance of creating Bucketfilling schools complements the importance of creating Bucketfilling families.  Parents and teachers work hand-in-hand in being role models for students.  The chance for experiencing true happiness in life is enhanced if we live with empathy, with warm and caring hearts.  This workshop teaches parents the same concepts taught to their children; parents experience the Love and Respect exercise in a way that etches memories few will ever forget.

Testimonial (See the Testimonials Page for more)

Our Goal is not just to be a “Bucketfilling School”, but for all of our families to become “Bucketfilling Families.” I was so touched at the parent assembly. Some of our parents shared their “Why I Love and Respect You” sheets at the assembly and after the sharing was finished, there was not a dry eye in the audience. So many parents thanked me on the way out for hosting this program and how glad they were that they took time out of their evening to attend. Thank you Bucketfillers For Life!

Farms Intermediate School has created a safe, friendly, respectful environment, and your message reinforces and builds on our expectations. Your message has made the students more aware of his/her actions. I thank you for taking the time to teach them."

"This is our 3rd consecutive year with the Bucketfillers For Life program. Follow-up is crucial to make sure the message is reinforced. There is great value in BFL’s Maintenance Program, and it enables my staff to carry the message forward in between visits much more effectively."
