I would like to bring Michael Chase into GMHS as an inspirational speaker in the fall. Mike is the School Resource Officer at Essex Tech, and he grew up in Danvers. I have known him since we were in high school together. Mike was at the Boston Marathon Finish Line when the bombs exploded, and he provided care to victims. Mike speaks about resilience in the face of adversity, and growing a culture of kindness. I would like for him to share his experience about "Kindness is a lifestyle" with our students grades 7-12. Mike has grown a kindness week program at Essex Tech and he will consult with me on how to begin something similar at GMHS.
