What Makes You Different Makes You Special

We were so lucky to welcome Johnny the K to Steward School last week! He is an amazing performer who teaches kids through songs (and many hats!) how to have a positive attitude about themselves and others around them, be proud of their accomplishments, always do their best, and work together to help everyone feel included. He teaches such important and valuable life lessons in a fun and engaging way. Click the quote below to see a clip of Johnny the K performing one of his great songs!

"Children are constantly reminded throughout my performances that by working together to create a caring, compassionate, and cooperative school environment, we can reduce the incidents of teasing while increasing random acts of kindness. By taking care of each other, speaking out against bullies, and working together, we have tremendous power in making a difference." 
~ Johnny the K.

It's not about what shoes you wear or the color of your skin.
It's all about who you are on the inside!
(note the "gift" hat!)

Having a blast with Johnny the K!

Very cool meeting the man behind the hats.

A special poem just for us.
