Commendations

"...Young people are the future of our state.  When they say no to drugs and alcohol, they have a chance to realize their dreams.  I commend the StraightWay team of performers for your efforts to promote drug prevention and treatment in Texas public schools.  By using your artistic talent to send a positive message to children, you help improve their chances for success in life."

President George W. Bush
(as Former Governor of the State of Texas)

"...StraightWay's level of professionalism is commendable, but it is the message and delivery that is truly awe inspiring.  In my 15 years as executive director of a grassroots volunteer prevention coalition, StraightWay is locally the single most requested school assembly by teachers, administrators, and parents as well as by students of all age levels."

Sharon Kroncke
Executive Director, Drug Free Greenville

"...I feel that what StraightWay does is incredibly professional, well directed, excellently choreographed and of the highest quality.  The StraightWay presentation is exciting, dynamic and most importantly, appealing to young people."

Bob Johnston
Director, Straight Street/YMCA

"...StraightWay's approach was a warm breath of fresh air.  Their crossover in music as well as stage presence was a rousing hit with our youth.  Since your performance with us you have induced enthusiasm to the point that the buzzword here is now StraightWay.  Our Red Ribbon prgram was exceptional and that was due largely to the StraightWay ensemble."

Lavetta Adkinson
Project Director, West Dallas Community Centers, Inc.

"...The StraightWay presentation was without a doubt the best assembly I have ever been a part of.  I honestly felt as if in 45 minutes, you made a difference in a great number of students' lives."

Jerry Clark
Principal, Bloomington Middle/High School

"...Your message of life 'choices' is so powerful.  The students are now knowledgeable about how they control their futures.  Thank you for being our heroes."

Elizabeth Snodgress
Director of Special Programs, DeSoto High School

"...The StraightWay presentation was motivating, funny, dramatic, and very thorough.  I felt it was the best drug-prevention program I have ever witnessed."

Sharon Carroll
Principal, Melissa Jr. High School

"...Several of our students have unbelievable stories of families, gangs, cops, death, guns, and broken homes.  Your show let them know it is cool to be drug free.  Your message means more to them because it comes from young, cool, kids."
