"Mr. Thomas engaged the students completely! It is not often you see an assembly where students are asked to participate where the presenter doesn't need to regain control afterward. Mr. Thomas was able to maintain focus and attention throughout! There was not one moment when students lost control or were too rowdy, or any moments when students were disengaged and bored!"
