Dear Mike,

On behalf of the Burke County Schools and our community, I want to thank you for what you shared with our safe school teams, law enforcement and community members last week. "WONDERFUL" is the best way to describe your presentations. I can not remember a presenter so well received by our school personnel and community. They loved you and appreciated the information that you gave them. The comment was made that “receiving safety training from Mike Dorn is like taking creative writing from Shakespeare.”

The information you provided will be very helpful to our entire community and I am sure will help us create the safest schools possible in Burke County.

We are thankful for your concern for the youth of our state and for what you did for us. In a time when it seems that many people have given up on our youth, it is refreshing to see that there are still those in our society who understand that the future of our country rests in the hands of our young people. Your presentation of “Weakfish” dramatically impacted each of our students who heard it.

We appreciate you sharing this time with us and look forward to having you with us again. Many of our principals are already talking about you coming back next year.

Again, thank you for your help and your concern for the students of Burke County.


Sincerely,
David C. Burleson
Superintendent

"Thank you for what you are doing- I'm not sure that most teachers really know what it's like to be tormented in such a manner that we were. Keep opening their eyes, please! Thanks."

"When we invited Michael Dorn to speak in Crawfordsville, our project team expected that local educators would receive a few pointers on improving school safety. Instead, Michael’s reality-based presentation spurred our entire community to immediate action toward building a comprehensive strategic plan for keeping everyone in our community safe. Eyes wide open, all sectors are moving together toward a safer Montgomery County after having the opportunity to learn and grow from Michael’s teaching. Dorn’s gift is facilitating community change. He has an incredible ability to enlist every stakeholder in the change process by engaging each person using multiple strategies and multiple perspectives to address school and community safety issues."
