What People are saying about Scott’s visits!

Francine Caliri, Reading Specialist, Cranston, RI

Sherri Carnevale, Family Tree Early Learning Center

"Scott came to speak and read to our students this week in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week. Our students not only learned about Dr. King, but also the values he stood for—being a kind friend, being a good citizen, and using your voice and your skills to be proud of being the only you. The visit was incredibly engaging—there was singing, dancing, and even me and our lead teachers got to play percussion on fruit shakers (yes, you read that correctly!). The children loved the Stand Out book, sang along to the song while Scott strummed the guitar with such animation, and his timing and energy were absolutely impeccable. Any preschool or school-age program should have Scott come out—if your focus is on self-esteem, helping children feel confident, and being good classroom citizens, this visit is a must-see!"

Erica Saccoccio, Owner, Family Tree Early Learning Center

“Recently Mr. Scott came to read his book to the class, How Do You Stand Out? and it was beyond inspiring.  It actually made me look into my students and how they stand out individually and collectively.  I ended up changing one of my classroom boards to add his lessons to the classroom.  I was blown away by how many of my students were engaged with the worksheets that he left for them to write and including just drawing pictures of what they can do to stand out and how they stand out.  It was definitely an eye opening experience for me and my students.  I would love to see more books from him and more lessons to share with my class.  Thank you again Scott for coming out and we can’t wait to have you back!”

-Sherri Carnevale, PreK Teacher, Family Tree Learning Center

Scott delivered an inspiring and engaging presentation on the power of being your unique self. His message encouraged students to celebrate their individuality, embrace what makes them different, and treat others with kindness and respect. His presentation was age-appropriate, interactive, and uplifting—students were actively engaged and left feeling empowered and confident. 

-Jen Scappaticci, 5th grade Teacher, Oaklawn Elementary School

If you have an opportunity to have an author come to your school…CALL SCOTT! His presentation with the book and songs were phenomenal! He’s also GREAT with kids. I have 3-5 year olds in my class and they sat so nicely and were so engaged with Scott’s presentation.

-Marissa Florio, Teacher The Farmhouse Preschool

We had Scott Jablonski come to our school for our Acts of Kindness Week.  We loved him and his powerful message about ways you can be kind to people, be respectful, never give up and try hard.   The kids loved it.  Fantastic music, wonderful message- we would love to bring him back to Cheshire Elementary and you should bring him to your school! _

- Karen Isbell, Librarian and PTG President, Cheshire Elementary School, Cheshire, MA

Scott came to our school and gave a fabulous assembly.  He sang creative, unique and lively songs, told personal stories which engaged the children and held them in the palm of his hand for 45 minutes.  Scott did a great job building on character development which is so important.  It was fun to watch and sing along.  I highly recommend this program.  Great job Scott!

- Nikki Green, 3rd grade teacher,  E.G. Robertson Elementary School, Warwick, RI

Scott Jablonski's show was extremely entertaining and very educational! It was the perfect event for our Fizz, Book, Read Science theme at the library this summer.  Scott is engaging, informative, and keeps the kids attention with interactive songs and demonstrations of ideas. Children and adults were singing along to his catchy tunes and everyone left with a smile on their face and knowledge in their minds! - Stefanie Blankenship, Branch Librarian, Cranston Public Library Oak Lawn Branch 

As a school administrator since the 1960’s, I have witnessed countless assemblies over those years and yours was certainly one of the very best.  The students were thoroughly engaged, actively participated and grasped the important message(s) you were imparting. I was impressed with your ability to interact so positively with the students.

- William Skitt, Assistant Principal, Community School, Cumberland, RI

“If you have an opportunity to have Scott come to your school, don't hesitate! His program is engaging and enjoyable, especially for students who enjoy participation and fast paced fun! Scott drives home the message of gaining and using self confidence to be successful. A "Stand Out with Scott' presentation is a great way to create, improve, and maintain a positive culture in your school! - Lisa Filippelli, Grade 1 ESL Teacher, NBCT, Thornton Elementary School, Johnston, RI.

“I loved Scott’s program today. He gave a great message something students need to hear more of.  If we keep telling the children what Scott is teaching, pretty soon they’re going to start practicing it.  We’re going to take his message and move forward.”  

- Peter Bachli, Principal,  Cheshire Elementary School, Cheshire, MA

“We had Scott here at the Providence Public Library performing for the children and he had them completely engaged.  He used music and talked to them about developing their talents, reading, being lifelong learners and making the world a better place.  It was a wonderful character building evening and I can’t recommend Scott enough.  I hope you’ll bring him onto your organization. - Anne L. Kilkenny, Librarian, Providence Public Library

“I have been the AD of the Scituate Recreation Summer Programs for three years and I can personally say that I have never seen such a spectacular performance.  These kids are very young and they need to know what is important in life- Scott was able to teach them that.  Scott taught the importance of responsibility,  getting a good education, and that it is good to be an individual and Stand Out.     

- Michael Skalko, AD Scituate Summer Recreation Program

I was simply amazed when I witnessed Scott's presentation.  Authenticity, variety and an all-encompassing audience rapport make "Stand Out with Scott" an unforgettable performance experience. Scott Jablonski skillfully blends music, history, and life lessons with the seasonings of enthusiasm and sincerity. Participants are engaged from start to finish in a multidimensional learning experience.

- Sally Gruber, Events Planner Volunteer, Trudeau Memorial Center, Warwick, RI

- Lawrence Filippelli, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent – Scituate School Department, Scituate, RI.

“We hired "Stand Out with Scott" to come in and present for the kids. This was really impressive as he sang songs about nutrition, motivation and also incorporated some our country's historical figures into the music. Who knew you could write a song about Benjamin Franklin? Anyhow, it was great, the kids loved it. You should absolutely check out this guy!”

- Raffi Derderian (Derderian Academy of Martial Arts) Johnston, RI

- Michael Zayjak, Principal, Scituate Middle School , Scituate, RI.

“In February I had Scott join us on my television show. Once he started his performance, he captivated my audience through his music and message. When he interacted with the children they all were willing to participate without hesitation. I applaud Scott in his commitment to better society.”  

- Tony Lepore, “The Dancing Cop” Produce, Writer & Director “Safe Kids & Friends”
