We aim to inspire a wave of connective behaviors. To find out how we’re doing, we ask people we work with to share their thoughts verbally and in writing. We have additional program evaluations planned for the near future as well.

About an elementary school music-based presentation on healthy lifestyles:
“Tyson’s energy during his performance was contagious! My first graders were singing about asparagus and staying active the rest of the school day. Even at lunch, the students were talking about which of their food came from a garden. Tyson was able to combine important information about making healthy choices with fun music that the kiddos enjoyed immensely! Thank you Tyson!!!”
