Your Life Speaks RECAP
FMTS East was so pleased with our speaker, Nathan Harmon ! There was no doubt his positive message gave kids a different outlook on so many important topics! Our kids did an outstanding job of being in the moment and taking away as much as possible. We will continue to build on this positive message and help our students continue making great choice for their futures. We received some very positive feedback from parents and students alike. Parents were saying "They talked about his story all evening. They wanted me to sit down with them and look up his story online." The students are saying, "It was one of the best presentations we've ever seen!" Overall, it was an outstanding morning!
