COLLEGIUM CHARTER SCHOOL "SPEAK UP EVENT"

I'm always honored when I'm invited to speak. I was truly honored to be the keynote speaker at the Speak Up event!

Seeing so many students and staff boldly share their voices was nothing short of inspiring. The energy, passion, and talent in that room were incredible! The slogan "Be Bold. Be Heard. Be Proud." wasn’t just words—it was a movement brought to life by this amazing community.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible. I left feeling just as inspired as the students, and I’m grateful to have been part of such a meaningful experience!

 Mr. Kauffman, Middle School Instructional and PBIS Coach stated "As students navigate the challenges of adolescence, it is essential that they have opportunities to express themselves, I couldn't agree more. "While many students (and staff) find outlets in athletics, academics, fashion, art, and more, this event specifically allowed them to communicate their stories through their words. As an artist self expression is so important and I love to see young people tapping into this at an early age!

Their slogan: 'Be Bold. Be Heard. Be Proud,' was inspired by them and it encapsulated the essence of the event. It came to life as students and staff confidently took to the stage to share their insights and talents." Keep promoting self expression Collegium Charter and thanks again for inviting me to speak!
