10 What they re saying Hillside Program, Westchester County, NY I thought that the presentation at Hillside went very well. It's not an easy group to keep engaged but Bob did a great job! Brookwood Secure Center, Claverack, NY The Survive the Drive program was outstanding! I can t express my appreciation enough. Bob Green is a skilled and knowledgeable speaker who was able to engage our often resistive students and provide them with information that had a powerful impact on their outlook towards driving. Survive the Drive warns teens against distractions Green s rapid-fire presentation combines basic anatomy and personal anecdotes Students may have learned something from Green. After the presentation a student who got her driver s license in December, said, "I won t text while driving anymore." Amherst Regional High School, MA I would like to THANK YOU for all of your hard work and dedication to the safety of Massachusetts youth the work you do is very inspiring. RHAM High School, CT Your dynamic, high energy talk had a positive effect on the students. They talked about it throughout the day. Pine Bush High School, NY I thought Bob did a great job, and we (students and staff) appreciated his enthusiasm and candor in dealing with a very difficult subject. Again thank you and Bob for providing this valuable service to our students. Windham-Ashland-Jewett Central School District, NY He was great! He had a ton of energy, was wonderful with the students and I was very excited that he included information about texting while driving and drunk driving this year. Please send him my thanks and thank you for helping to bring this program to our school again.
