Testimonials
"A Board of Education member came up to me the other night at a basketball game and said his daughter actually TALKS to him about what we do in class and said that this was the best P.E. class she's ever had. We have moved along from games and initiatives to trust falls and cooperative activities and I have seen a huge change in the way the kids treat each other."

"As many of us are all too aware, the environment in which today's children are growing up poses enormous challenges to their healthy development and learning… It is becoming increasingly urgent for educators to begin to confront the special challenges that these "socially toxic" times create for children, and schools. And, despite the heavy burden it places upon us and the absence of simple fool-proof solutions, we need to put our energy into trying to counter-act the negative effects and promote healthy and effective learning."
