Ever wished that one of your school obligations was to hang out with the skaters and founders of Element? Wish no more… Element’s been quietly taking over school curriculums for some time with seminars and tours. Now they’ve launched a website solely dedicated to their involvement with schools.
Element’s This is my Element gives students a hands on introduction to business, as well as a nice motivational speech. Element founder Johnny Schillereff says, “A big part of my motivation to create Element was given to me by a speaker at my high school during some challenging times in my life, so it’s become important to me to encourage the youth in the same way. We’ve taken a positive and active role mentoring the youth for many years now and know first hand that it makes an incredible difference.”

The only way school could be better is if we went to Rock n’ Roll High School. Sadly, that film was made in the 70s, the Ramones are almost all dead now, and the California bureaucrats won’t even allow us to buy soda at school, let alone rock out to our hearts’ desires. Oh well, Element’s surely the next best thing, and we’d be willing to go through the torments of high school bullying all over again just for a chance to take one of these seminars. Bring on the swirlies and noogies!
