Having a fun, engaging speaker! The kids responded very well to her. This was my first time inviting the program into my classroom. I have heard great things about it, but I am impressed! The slideshow was engaging, presenter was awesome and relatable to the students and activities really made the kids think. I will definitely keep utilizing this tool in the classroom in the future!

I love this idea of having young – relevant educators coming in to do this education. We’ve had the health department come and it was an older gal who talked about the same info but our kids could not relate to her so it was a downer, not helpful. [Best Choice] definitely fits our program’s needs. Thank you so much.

I look forward to having Best Choice present every year. They are very knowledgeable and present their material in an open and honest way. The material is very up to date. The presenters are very open and honest. Don’t change anything. The way the material is presented makes it intriguing. When students ask if we can do this every day, you know they are doing something right.

I appreciate the fact that you don’t tell students that sex is bad, but it can be if it’s with the wrong person at the wrong time. I like the fact that you push making the best decision and smart decisions.

I think one of the most beneficial parts of the program is to help students understand healthy lifestyle choices.

The program gives the students important information to help them make informed decisions when the time is right.

Students very interested in content, good information for 8th graders to learn before high school.

I like the newer info on refusal skills and role-playing “no”. Especially with 7th grade. Also, the importance of safety with social media and values portrayed in media. The role playing was engaging and really helped kids practice information.

Discussion about peer pressure to be sexually active, importance of developing healthy habits & respect for self & others, and how influential the media is on us [was the most beneficial aspect of the program].

Fits in perfectly with our curriculum. Presenters are always informative and engage the students in great discussions. Students are always more willing to share with the presenters. Very helpful when discussing an important topic.

I truly believe this program is so beneficial for all teens. I believe every school should incorporate it! Thanks for all you do! You guys are truly making a difference in the world!!!

The STD portion and most of all the abstinence all throughout the program is great. Having a “teacher” like Mandy is a bonus because the students relate. Outstanding with her.
