Hi Marin!
IT WENT AMAZING!
I told Fletcher, Michaela, and Lynzey that our sophomore group is one of our “rowdier” groups, so I was a little nervous about their behavior, but they were engaged, participating, and hooked the entire time. When Fletcher was speaking, you could hear a pin drop on how focused they were! They were even talking about it in the halls and during lunch with their friends from other grade levels. It was phenomenal. We will absolutely want to make this an occurring assembly at OCHS!
I am so thankful for all of the work and organization that you all put into these assemblies. It was such a powerful and impactful time for our students, and I fully believe that they took away important messages. I talked about it with my husband in JCPS, and I think he may be sharing the word with his administration. I will talk highly of this assembly everywhere I go!
I would love to write a thank you card to Fletcher, Michaela, and Lynzey – if I send them to the address in your email signature, could you make sure they get to them?
Thank you again! I look forward to working with you more!

“Fletcher captured the minds and hearts of the audience with his story while renewing hope and faith to reach beyond the sky. His message was powerful and his gift is full of passion.  Fletcher is a must-see presentation!”

Thank you, Fletcher Cleaves!

Dear Mr. Cleaves,

I just wanted to let you know how much you sharing your story and talking with our students means to me. I graduated from this school and during my freshman year of college I lost my best friend in a car accident. I think this is one of the reasons that I decided to become a teacher. So I could make a difference in my students’ lives and explain to them the importance of vigilance while driving. Sharing your story here is extremely important, and it is inspiring me to be a better man and teacher.

Thank you for coming to visit us.

Best,

It was absolutely fantastic! From the set up to the presentation- everything was very well done! If you have any kind of evaluation form for me to fill out, I would be happy to. It was a blessing for our students and staff! Fletcher did a great job relating to and engaging with the students.

So glad you reached out to us and we have this connection now!

Dear Fletcher Cleaves,

Thank you for visiting our school. Your presentation was so hearwarming. You are so strong. I wasn’t prepared, I thought this was just gonna be some lecture but actually it was your story. Amazing. You proved everyone wrong that doubted you. I almost cried your presentation was so nice!! It was interesting and amazing. You blanaced your presentation so nicely with humor and inspirational information. You are so positive and always see the good.

Sincerely,

Thank you for making this happen!

Fletcher was excellent, our kids loved it and would be happy to do another one in the future.

“Almost a year later, I am still so thankful to have been able to meet and hear the story of Fletcher Cleaves. Not only has he opened our eyes to the dangers of distracted driving, but he has also taught us that the sky can’t possibly be the limit if there are footprints on the moon. Fletcher has taught me to never give up on my dreams and to not reach for the sky, but to reach for the stars.”

Thank you so much for going to our school and telling us your story. I love how you’re still positive even after everything that has happened. You have such good advice for everything. Not everyone has neough courage to tell their story to people. So, I thought it was cool that you did. You seem like such a funny person. You have a crazy story. But somehow you act like nothing ever happened. I love how even after you got paralyzed that didn’t stop you from doing your dreams and what you love.

You are an amazing person.

I wanted to send you a quick thank you for reaching out about visiting BFMS. Fletcher and the VPA team were super flexible, patient and awesome to listen to! My students were super engaged and I’m really grateful they got to experience Fletchers story. I think it made a huge impact.

Thank you so much, I hope we can stay in touch in the future!
