These letters, quotes, and words are few of hundreds that LEP members have received from students in our audiences.   These positive comments are very motivating for the team!

Lake Erie PRIDE,

Thank you for presenting at our school.  You were great!  I liked your skits the most.  The ideas you thought up were great.  I think many students got a message to not do drugs and alcohol.  Many presentations are boring.  Yours really caught  my attention.  All the music and lights were really cool too.  Hope you come back again.

Sincerely, Carly

Thank you Lake Erie PRIDE for teaching us about drugs and alcohol in a very cool way.                                 From Brandon,  grade 6

Dear LEP,

First of all I would like to thank all of you people that came to our school to help us think about alcohol and underaged drinking.  My favorite part about it was the dancing.  One thing that makes me not want to drink is all those kids that got killed by drunk drivers.  I don't want that to be the way I die.  I thought overall that your program was helpful to all of us that saw it.  I think your program will make all of us students think twice about underaged drinking and drugs.  Once again I thank all of you!  THANK YOU!

Dear Lake Erie PRIDE,

    On behalf of the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students, teachers, and myself, thank you for an inspiring performance.  Your message was meaningful and powerful.  The feedback from our students was tremendous.  You are a talented group with an important story to tell.  Our kids were listening.  Thank you for all the time you put into your performance.  It was thoughtful and well done.  Good luck spreading your message to other grade school audiences.

Sincerely,

Mrs. B, Guidance Counselor (January '05)

Dear LEP,

Thank you for making the assembly so fun.  I also want to thank you for coming.  I think a lot of kids in our school are going to make better decisions now.

Dear Erie's PRIDE People,

Thank you for visiting our school.  I think the dances, songs ,and performances were amazing!  I too think it's important to stay drug, alchohol, and tobacco free.  A lot of people liked it.  More people will be drug free. Keep helping people out.

From, Laura
