"Rock Solid was by far the best character program we have ever had at our school. The students and staff are still talking about it! The presenters were very positive and energetic, the message was truly powerful! The "7 Handholds for Success" character traits will be recognized by the teachers and students at our school in the weeks, months, and years to come. Thank you."

"I have worked in the field of education for 19 years as a special education teacher, counselor at all levels, and a district administrator. Now, as a full time volunteer at my children's school, I think I've seen education from all sides. I have never seen nor experienced, however, a more powerful activity than Rock Solid Character! What a great way to help kids learn, without them even knowing that they're learning!
The "7 Handholds of Success" introduction, your staff's positive interactions with the students, and climbing left our students saying things like 'This was the BEST day in school I've ever had!'"

Loyce Bates-Dettman
Spicewood Elementary PTA

"The program was awesome! The students were excited and more self esteem was built in 45 minutes than I have ever seen. Climbing the rock was a great way to teach the 7 Handholds for Success."

Sandra Beard -- Baker 6th Grade

"Our faculty and students loved the personal challenge and sense of accomplishment they achieved no matter how high they climbed. We enjoyed the hands-on event for our students and not a passive presentation. Thanks for a fantastic experience."

"Rock Solid Character is unique, dynamic and student focused. Through an incredible rock-climbing adventure, students are taught to use 'handholds' of character in the climb of life. Parents are encouraged in their responsibility of character development and teachers are inspired in their role of developing good citizens of character."

"Your the best! I have never rock climbed before, but I'm glad you came. It took courage, cooperation and perseverance. I hope you come to next year's Gold Day. Your talk you gave us changed the way I live. I really thought it was just a rock climb.

"Thank you... Character education provides children with the knowledge and skills that they need to make sound decisions, while also establishing a sense of responsibility toward country, community, school, and family. It is vitally important that children learn to respect themselves and others . . . We hold the view that all students must be treated with care and respect and that we must engender a positive school environment where students feel safe and secure."
