Assembly

45-50 minutes – Pre-K through 3rd Grade

DSC00896The entertaining aspects of role plays with student and teacher volunteers hold the children spellbound as they learn about the power of choice in their lives.

We are all given the freedom to make daily choices from the clothing we wear and the food we eat to our grades in school and how we treat others.

When you choose to be a Bucketfiller, you bring love and happiness into your life and into the lives of others. Bullying is bucket dipping and this choice brings sadness and loneliness to your life and the lives of others. Which do YOU choose?

“Bucketfillers For Life presented a fun-filled, yet thought-provoking assembly for our K-3 students. It was meant to get the children excited about being Bucketfillers. The assembly did just that! This was a hit for all of our students, and a true gift to our school.”

Classroom Workshops

90 minutes – 4th Grade and up
(Featuring the original and powerful Why I Love and Respect You exercise)

In fourth grade and above, the students begin to examine their lives and their choices more intensely. There are many opportunities for discussion and questions as they realize their own accountability for the quality of their existence. True stories exemplifying results of choices, role-plays with student volunteers, laughter and sometimes tears lead up to the often life-changing exercise “Why I Love and Respect You”. Students, parents and teachers are deeply touched by this workshop.

“You really touched me. My mom liked it a lot too. I am going to keep filling up buckets because it makes me feel good about myself and others. You really changed my life. Now I can help change some other people’s lives.”

Annual BFL Maintenance Program

A Bucketfilling School remains a Bucketfilling School through our Maintenance Program. The power of the concept stays strong when everyone is aboard. To assure this, we will custom design the appropriate Annual Maintenance Program for your school, giving you the maximum sustainable impact for your investment. The success of this program is proven by the enthusiasm of the many schools that have been on the Bucketfillers for Life Maintenance Program for several years.

“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.”

“…the Bucketfillers program serves as the springboard for our bullying and positive reinforcement programs for our children. The staff, students and parents love the concept and actively practice bucketfilling…”

"Thank you for helping us understand how to make a person’s day better. You have a very good method of teaching. I now understand that just one thing you say can either help or hurt someone. I try to fill anyone’s bucket whenever I have a chance."

Hannah, a Student
"We usually gauge the success of a presentation on the reaction of the faculty and students. The faculty has totally embraced the concept and will continue it throughout the year because of the effect it had on them personally. The students have reacted positively to filling each other’s bucket. We would recommend this presentation to you without any reservations."
