Please accept my gratitude for the contribution you made to both students and adults this week. The jump rope presentations you delivered in the DoDEA schools in Korea were skillful, entertaining, motivational, and were received with great enthusiasm by students, parents, teachers and administrators.
Health and fitness are of great importance to everyone today and are essential for young people as they are developing life patters and attitudes toward fitness. Your presentation exemplified this in a relevant and engaging manner that will remain with students long after your presentation ended. In addition, you made direct connections between working hard, finding success, and being a "champion in life." All of these are essential life messages for our developing students.
Students, faculty and administrators in each of the school that you presented were entertained and amazed by your skills and motivated by the message you shared with the audience. Your passion and enthusiasm are very inspiring, and your amazing jump rope performance will long be remembered.
DoDEA Pacific would like to thank you for graciously bringing your time and talents and sharing your skillful, educational and inspirational presentations at the ten DoDEA schools in Korea.
