"Having attended a plethora of prevention assemblies for over 20 years, I remember only those that impress faculty, as well as students. Serving as a district administrator, I am removed from what some percieve as the 'real world' of education - the actual school site. In this circumstance, I received feedback from the 'real world' about the power of your performance. Through incredible feats of strength and positive messages, your team motivated students to excel, to stand up for what is right, and to rise above adverse circumstances...Thank you for bringing strength, hope and a vision of a better tomorrow to our schools."
Donna Clark - Asst. Administrator / Safe and Drug Free Communities
Spring Branch ISD - Houston, TX
"The assembly as indicated by some of my colleagues, was 'one of the best we've had'. After they captured the audience with their amazing feats, they hammered home a most positive and powerful message. Those of us in the field of education realize that it is not always easy to capture the hearts and minds of today's youth, however Team Impact did it successfully...I whole-heartedly recommend Team Impact and would have them back at anytime."
Everett Lovelace - Vice Principal
Addams Elementary - Fresno, CA
"Team Impact is a must have assembly for all high school students. The message that was delivered outlined the choices and challenges that all kids face...Team Impact made it known that all kids are valuable and problems can be worked out. The biggest emphesis was students could make positive life changing decisions. Team Impact gets my highest recommendation for entertaining but also focusing my kids on real life issues."
Danny Smith - Principal

"The students and staff found your recent visit to be a most rewarding experience. The 'eye opening' demonstrations and the motivational messages were well received by all. As our students talked about the presentation for days, it was most obvious that they embraced Team Impact and carried home a memory that they will not forget for a very long time...We applaud your efforts to reach the youth of today and wish you well in your future endeavors."
Dr. Eric Fischer - Principal

“Team Impact’s performance at MADD’s Youth Summit was spectacular. They are very entertaining and engaging with their actions, but what they have to say is what is really important. Their message to teens about staying away from alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs was wonderfully received. They are definitely making an impact.”
Kelley Sourbeer - Youth Program Specialist
MADD - North Texas
"I observed closely as students listened intently to the messages being delivered. After the show, I also overheard many students making positive comments about the show. Even if one student begins making better decisions related to controlled substances or sexual activity, the assembly will have been well worth it. The facilitators related well to students and I am sure had a positive impact on many of them.
Mike Snellings - Principal
Orangewood High School - Redlands, CA
"The presenter delivered a very motivational talk on choices, and the many pitfalls of making incorrect choices. The whole theme was on being a 'world class student'. Our students were very attentive, and many came up to me during their lunch period to comment positively on the assembly program."
Jim Shupe - Principal
Lawton Chiles Middle School - Oviedo, Fl
"The presentation was so upbeat and positive. Our students are still talking about how much they enjoyed it. The message of saying no to drugs and alcohol was presented in such a way that the children could relate, strive towards and hopefully remember in their years ahead."
