Waverly Park students learn 'The Power of Language’ from motivational speaker Lamar Lee

Waverly Park Elementary School recently welcomed Mr. Lamar Lee, a former athlete and motivational speaker from Limitless Learning who presented The Power of Language – Words Matter, an inspiring and interactive assembly for fourth and fifth-grade Wonders. Mr. Lee shared his powerful personal journey, guiding students to reflect on the impact of their words, the responsibility they have in how they speak to others and the importance of allyship and making thoughtful choices. Students learned how language can unite or divide, why certain words are never acceptable and practiced strategies to foster belonging and interrupt hate. The energy and engagement in the room made it a truly memorable experience, and the meaningful lessons shared will continue to influence how our students think, speak and support one another each day. #OwlProud
