NED Hits Burton Campus

Your child might come home tonight and tell you all about Ned, a cartoon character they met today! Ned is a phenomenal character who has the brains of Chad Adams behind him. Chad is a motivational speaker who tours the United States teaching children Ned's philosophy: N- Never give up E- encourage others D- do your best. His incredible skills captured the students' attention and he was able to share his message with the group.
Mr. Adams keeps the students attention by performing incredible tricks with a variety of yoyos he had on hand. As he performs these tricks, he uses his own life experience learning how to yoyo as an example for his never give up philosophy. The students were amazed by the variety and difficulty of the tricks he performed.
Mr. Adam's positive message was definitely heard and remembered. He picked four volunteers from the audience and asked them to share something they had learned. Each student was able to share a different part of the message they had learned. One student even received his own yoyo and holster, along with one for his teacher, who also participated in the show.
Parents who would like to purchase yoyos should look for Mrs. Ducca's Badger Gazette that was sent home last week. The order form is located on the back!
