“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.”

"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."

Village Elementary School, Hartland, MI
“It’s a wonderful program for the kids to do. The Bucket-Filling experience has really played an important role and impacted the atmosphere in my classroom in such a positive way! I overhear students on a daily basis trying to fill one another’s buckets. It’s nice to hear and see!”
