Bill's Transparency

Imagine 1,500 high school and middle school students sitting in the gym or auditorium laughing one minute, totally quiet the next, maybe wiping a tear from their eye the next. Teachers sometimes spend part of their time watching their students respond to the magic of Bill Sanders.

While middle school and high school students have different needs and concerns Bill can combine the two groups and knows how to handle the tough and delicate topics. Bill's goal is to reach students in a way that they know and feel in their hearts that he was speaking just to them. He is after a change of attitude and if needed a change of behavior. Bill believes in your students but he also knows of the pressures and worries they carry around that often cause them to act in a way that isn't positive or healthy. Watch your students become more caring for one another and make healthier decisions as a result of Bill's powerful and inspiring assemblies.

• How to act and stay positive about school, your potential, and others

Bill loves talking to elementary students. He usually leaves with more speech material than he brings. Recently he asked a group of kindergartners, "What does the red light mean?" A brave "little girl answered, Stop" How about the green light?" The same little girl proudly said, "Go." Finally he asked about the yellow light and she boldly said, "BEAT THE LIGHT!" Look at the pictures of students from some of Bill's elementary talks and you will notice them putting their fingers in a way that means "I am thumbody special" It is hard to believe Bill can hold the attention of hundreds of K-5th graders for 45 minutes, when it seems as if it lasted only about 15 minutes. The great thing about speaking to little children is that they go home and repeat each and every story they have heard, they love Bill's humor, and they drag their parents back when Bill has an evening parent/community program.
