Testimonials

The Peter Thomas assembly with illustrator, John Mahomet, was exceptionally motivational for students as well as staff. I highly recommend it for K-8. If you are in an upper elementary or middle school and can have only one assembly this year, this is the one.

Claire Pagnotta, ninth year K-8 library media specialist - Beebe School Malden, MA


"I have been teaching in Malden for 28 years. This was one of the top five assemblies I have witnessed. He was entertaining as well as informative."

Steve Rubin, eighth grade math teacher – Beebe School Malden, Ma

Peter's down-to-earth, sincere, ON TOP OF THE WORLD personality drew the children into every word he said. He took an enormous risk, followed his dream, and made his dream come true. One of my children said, "If he can do it, I can do it too!'' Which was music to my ears. I'm always telling my students, if you can imagine it, if you can dream it, you can become it! You can say it to the children until you're blue, but children and adults too often have to see, to believe. Peter Thomas gave all of us something to see and we BEELIEVED! He is truly inspiring!

Maura Walsh McPhee . . . 7th Grade Teacher - St. Michael School - North Andover, MA

Peter Thomas has developed a message that all children need to hear and internalize. If you believe in yourself, even if you make a mistake, hard work and effort will bring about a positive result. Peter's message flies home on the wings of Billy Bee. Peter's belief in his message coupled with a genuine desire to make a difference in children's lives is easily visible in his presentation. The children were captivated by his energy and enthusiasm. As administrators of primary aged public school children, we are careful about who interacts with our children because of the extreme trust they have in adults and how easily they can be influenced. Peter Thomas is a superb model for the children. In a short period of time Peter has made us a believer in him. He is a good person who carries a strong and important message to the children.
