"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! |

I just wanted to let you know what
an impact your Rock Solid Character presentation had on my daughter who
is five years old. Congratulations on a job well done and thanks a million
for helping our kids!" Kelly Schimcek Gonzales Junior High Teacher Gonzales, TX "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.

Blaine "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." William Modzeleski Director, Safe and Drug-Free United States Department of Education |
