A Godsend!

This testimonial is from a mother of one of the 2016 spring students. Kyle Woolven was the facilitator and comedian coach who worked with Ryan.

"My son Ryan participated in your Happiness at School project at St. Michael Catholic School in Belleville, and in short, it was a Godsend for him. You should know - you've had a HUGE impact on his life! I never saw him enjoy school the way he did during the time that you were teaching him! The days that you were there were the days he set his alarm to be up early and ready to go. He worked at his comedy like it was a full time job - so I truly believe this is his passion. Thank you for awakening that in him!"   - Amy Doyle, 2017
