Mr Kirk Tower, Principal, Thornburg Middle School, Thornburg, VA
Since 1983 former social worker & anti-bullying expert Jed Doherty has empowered over one million young people and adults by helping them to develop positive attitudes about themselves and others, to be respectful of themselves and their peers, to practice kindness, work cooperatively and to be inclusive. Doherty has created exciting and captivating character education assembly programs that use positive reinforcement, storytelling, music, comedy and magic to help audiences acknowledge the worth of every person.
“This was a great character education school assembly program. The students were very engaged with the message. Before the show Jedlie asked me what anti-bullying / respect issues we were facing at our school. He tailored his message to address those issues, so it really hit home with our students. I would have Jedlie back again. He talked about real world issues at our school and that was the key that helped our students make a deep connection with the material!”
Mrs Carolyn Fasano, Professional School Counselor, Westridge Elementary School, Woodbridge, VA
“Jedlie’s anti-bullying school assembly program supports our mission to provide a safe and caring learning environment for all of our students”
Mrs Mary Maloney, Principal, St Rose of Lima School, Newtown, CT
