“Thank you, Carol Hamilton, for sharing with the fourth graders. As I read some of the responses this morning, I felt tingles up and down my spine! We talked more today about ‘filling our buckets”. I think they learned much.“

“On a daily basis classrooms are a busy place… The Bucket Man brought relationship and people building to the top of my priority list.  Filling the bucket of each student connected me with them in an emotional way… It has energized our relationship and mutual respect.   My students are eagerly filling buckets and realizing when they are “bucket dipping.”   Putting a name to what they were doing (bucket dipping) has given them a tool to aid in reducing the occurrence.  With the Bucket Team, your classroom culture will take a swing to the positive side.”

Tony Moskus, Fifth Grade Teacher,

“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!”

Richard Parker, 5th Grade Teacher
Farms Intermediate School, Hartland, MI

“Thank you so very much for bringing the “Bucket Man” to our school.  It is a wonderful program and we plan to keep in going. You do an excellent job of presenting and the kids were definitely listening to all you had to say.”

Carla, 8th Grade Teacher

“We can not thank you enough for speaking to our home school group.  The gospel that you teach to the children could become a life-changing experience which could impact them for the rest of their lives.”

Kim, Home School Leader

“Thank you for filling our hearts and minds with such positive information.  I am using it in my everyday life.”

Lisa, Elementary School Teacher

“Thank you so much for sharing your heart with our students.  I hope we can measure up to your expectations.  It is so important for our students to have and share good thoughts.”

Tom, Middle School Teacher

"Our bucketfilling assemblies and workshops have been some of the most impressionistic initiatives we have undertaken! Our students have learned how to articulate and share their feelings with others using positive communication, they know how they can make a difference in someone’s life every day with their words or actions, and they have openly shared what they’ve learned with their families and loved ones! We have received touching compliments and letters of thanks from parents about the “amazing conversations that occurred between their children following these assemblies”. Coupled with a positive school-wide behavior plan that we implemented last year, Bucketfilling has now become part of our school culture. We will continue to host workshops each year to maintain this positive energy in our school community."

"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."
