I would like to introduce you to an interactive assembly with a new motivational message. I perform a show called "The Three R’s". Respect, Responsibility and Rock n’ Roll. I also perform a "Country Hoe-Down" with the same message.

This program shows students the importance of having Respect and Responsibility. The format is unique because it is wrapped around a music theme where the students are actively involved.

I stress that everybody is different and we should respect the difference in each other as well as the differences in ourselves. I tell the students I took responsibility for my own actions growing up through school. I was faced with many choices, like school, drugs and alcohol.

As a college graduate, I am living my Dream.... singing and making a positive impact on the students lives I touch. I tell students, by staying in school and saying "No to Drugs" my dreams came true.......and theirs can too. (Please refer to the message).

The students learn about the beginning of rock n’ roll while they are dancing, playing the guitars, tambourines, wearing Elvis shades and singing into the microphone. Rock n’ Roll scarves and prizes are given away to selected students. Every student will receive a FREE 8" x 10" photo with a special message from "The Three R’s" presentation.

At the middle school level, volunteers also participate in a hoola hoop, inflatable guitar and twist contests. (Please refer to program, recommendations, and music demonstration Down Load.

I have performed for more than seven hundred schools across the United States, from Tennessee to Washington. I have worked with several anti-drug organizations including "DARE" and "JUST SAY NO CLUB". My program also has fit into many "School Themes" such as "Character Counts" and "Red Ribbon Week". Based on the feedback I receive from students, teachers, principals and parents; I am making a positive impact on the students who attend my show.
