Subject: An assembly idea for our school — Finding Your Purpose
Hi [Principal / PTA President name],

I wanted to share a school assembly I think our students would really benefit from.

It's called Finding Your Purpose, by speaker Samuel Picou. It's a 45–60 minute, music-driven anti-bullying assembly for PreK–12 that helps students think about identity, confidence, kindness, and their future. Samuel grew up with alopecia and was bullied for looking different — and at 16 he sang on NBC's The Voice. He turns that story into a message kids actually remember.

Schools can also book through Academic Entertainment: https://academicentertainment.com/finding-your-purpose

Would you be open to looking into it for [kindness week / back-to-school / Red Ribbon Week]?

Thank you for everything you do for our kids,
