I’m Principal Michael. I’m the proud principal here at Ingleside Middle School in Phoenix, Arizona.
And we were so happy to have you guys here today. Actually, you guys came to us through a parent who had experienced your message and the assembly that you had done at another school and said, actually insisted that we have it here on our campus. One thing that I saw today that was cool is that it’s engaging and I think it got the students involved and had a very powerful message.
I would tell them to give it a shot and let your students learn and engage in very powerful I do. hope that every time we do something like this, I hope somebody hears something that is going to resonate with them and they’ll take with them forever.

“I am Mia Davis. I’m a sixth grade science teacher at Ingleside Middle School, and we’re here in Arcadia, Arizona. So very cool. I just got done at the assembly and I just wanted to say that I feel like this like presentation and how the format is, it’s like the most engaged I’ve ever seen my kids. Sometimes sixth grade.
Some of these topics are a little like heavy for them, right? Depending on what level they’re at. And I feel like some of them, because of that, they kind of check out whenever we talk about this stuff. But The way that, like the format of it and the drums and how we interacted and how we correlated it to fun things, it was so, so, well done. Like that was the most engaged I’ve ever seen the kids before.
So I was really impressed by that. So yeah, definitely recommend such an important message, such a good way to deliver it to the kids. So yeah, thank you for visiting our school.” “My name is Dave Norris. I’ve been teaching in Scottsdale for 33 years. I teach math at Ingleside Middle School in Scottsdale and we just witnessed, I just witnessed the best assembly I’ve ever seen in 33 years in Scottsdale. Thank you so much for encouraging our kids.”

I’m Lisa Reese. I am the principal at the Sayo Verde Elementary School in the Peoria School District in Arizona and I am the head of the student councils for all of the middle schools in the Peoria District.
So the kids were very excited right from the beginning, super engaged. I thought you related amazingly with the kids and they really enjoyed this presentation and I think they got a lot out of it.
Our goal for all of our student leaders is to become better leaders and to get out into the community and spread the word about being good humans and giving back. And I could definitely see my own child was in the audience and I could see them like lights going on and really like thinking about the things that were said today.
I think honestly any school especially it’s really hard to find for middle school people that really connect with middle school students and this was a room of 400 middle school students that all connected so I think it would be that would be a great avenue.

Rancho Solano Middle School & High School
Rancho Solano is a private elementary, middle and high school in Scottsdale, Arizona. They brought Vive18 speakers Jake White and Tomas Barraza to address underage drinking, vaping, THC, and driving under the influence. The students were talking about the presentation long after and mentioned things like “this was way better than the normal presentations we see.” Many students stayed after to talk with the drug prevention speakers and share personal stories, how the presentation impacted them, and what they’d like to do after. The school counselor Elizabeth loved how actionable the program was and that it can be helpful for years later as well. It wasn’t a typical “just say no” presentation, but empowered students to make choices that help them achieve the future they want. During the day, Vive18 addressed students in upper elementary, middle school, and high school while tailoring each to be age and developmentally appropriate.

Jake helped students explore who they are and what they want to do. The message was truly from the heart and helped them think about how they see themselves and how they want to influence their community.
