Looking Forward to Mr. Flood
On Thursday, October 13, Mr. David J. Flood will be presenting to all NMS students in three separate grade presentations.
Mr. Flood comes highly recommended (as he was just at the Hurley Middle School on 10/12 to rave reviews).
From his website and description, here is what it says about him:
ABOUT DAVID
David’s narrative as a youth speaker comes first hand; he grew up impacted by addiction in his family; he married and became a father of two children, his oldest is a special needs son; he is active in his church; he is a hospice volunteer who visits with terminally ill patients; and is on the board of K.I.D.S. Plus, Inc. a non-profit organization which helps special needs children through sports and other activities. David attends meetings and participates in activities with The Anti-Bias Consortium for Nassau County Schools. He is a member of The Northport-East Northport Drug and Alcohol Task Force.
David’s life teaches him every day about dignity, understanding, patience, forgiveness, and most of all unconditional love. As a youth motivational speaker David has spoken to over 150,000 students, inspiring them to look at people and things in a different way. He speaks with passion and conviction and through his humility, leaves his audience with so much to think about in their formative years as they move into their future.
We truly appreciate our NMS PTA for supporting and bringing Mr. Flood to us. There will be some Tweets and pics from the presentations.
Thanks again to NMS PTA for supporting such a worthwhile effort.
A Review of Mr. Flood:
David, I cannot thank you enough for your words of wisdom yesterday at our assembly at Bristol Central high school . You were the perfect speaker to relate to our kids. The vibe the entire day was totally different and kids spoke about the presentation until the bell bell rang at 2 o’clock .I think this was the exact type of presentation that will resonate with them for a long time.you were exactly the kind of person I was looking for and I really hope that we can work together in the future.I agree with what you said about there is no coincidence that we chose you out of a list of hundreds . you’re such an inspiration to all of us and it was an honor to meet you can’t wait to see each other again congratulations on great work.
