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.

“Our Goal is not just to be a “Bucket filling School”, but for all of our families to become “Bucket filling 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!”

“Thank you for bringing the bucket filling philosophy to our school. I believe we have started something very special here. This is a wonderful peace-building, tolerance teaching, self-esteem enhancing concept. Thank you for sharing your heart-warming philosophy with all of us. We look forward to working with you again next year.”

“The Bucketfiller presentations have presented the Leonard Elementary School students with a life-altering experience. Our students were excited to learn how to express their inner thoughts with others. They are ready to share their positive thoughts with the world around them as dedicated ‘Bucketfillers’.”
