WHY THE ENERGY BUS
George represents all the children. Each child can connect to George.
On the playground a student was being bullied. Where before students remained as
bystanders now students would chant “No bullies allowed” which was learned through
The Energy Bus.

EVERYONE SHOULD BE ON BOARD
An expectation for a positive environment
must be established by the program, each
campus, each Youth Leader, each family, and
each student.

MEETINGS AT EACH CAMPUS
Clear expectations of a positive culture
should be shared with Youth Leaders
working directly with students.

“Once you replace negative thoughts with
positive ones, you'll start having positive
results.”
-Willie Nelson
Give your Youth Leaders your expectations
to remain positive. If you are positive it will
trickle down to the Youth Leader which in
turn will trickle down to the children, then to
their siblings, their parents, this programs is
for the entire community.

THE ENERGY BUS HAS TO BE POSITIVE
It’s easy to get caught up in negativity
throughout the day.
Positivity is crucial for a successful program.
Don’t let the traffic ruin your day.
Don’t MAJOR in MINOR things.
