“I can’t begin to tell you what a huge impact Chris had on our students! SO MANY students and teachers have told me that Chris really touched them and made them think. I’ve never seen our students so attentive in an assembly (you could have heard a pin drop in the gym!), and SO MANY people have told me it was the best program we’ve ever had!
