"Our high school students were wowed by your energy and honesty, and related to you and your hands on approach immediately. ...just when they thought it was hilarious, you hit them between the eyes, hard, with the one line zingers and quiet truths. You received a standing ovation...and as one student later reported, 'that never happens!'"
—Susan Edwards, Parent Support Network Chairman, Bishop McGuinness High School, Oklahoma City, OK
"You have stretched us and made us stop and question ourselves as teachers and parents. Are we good role models? ...the kids and staff were wondering if you could come and be their principal next year."
—Jerry Sparby, Principal, Cold Spring Elementary, Cold Spring, MN
"Whoever nicknamed you the 'Human Hurricane' wasn't kidding! You kept up an incredible pace and gave a high-energy presentation during each of the four programs. Your message to our elementary students was undoubtedly the most important hour of information they will receive all year."
—Felicia N. Mercadante, B.S.W., Outreach Coordinator, Danville Elementary School, Danville, PA
