Please take the time to read our letters of recommendation and also what others are saying about Steve and his assembly/presentation
(scroll to the bottom to see what the students are saying).
I was intensely moved by Steve’s presentation. I have been talking about this program non-stop since Wednesday and will continue to do so at every possible opportunity.
Joanne Spencer, Program Coordinator NASSAU BOCES, Arts in Education
I want to thank you for your understanding and willingness to work with NMS. This experience and topic was a new one for us. The assemblies created a significant amount of discussions for the day as students went into other classrooms. Steve is articulate and a compelling storyteller as he narrated his own journey. I do believe that many students connected to many aspects of the presentation. Steve was warm, engaging and sincerely personable.
Matthew Gengler, Principal BN-Middle School
It was absolutely amazing that Steve took additional time to speak with some of our students who identified with his experience and are needing additional support. Our students connected to Steve the actor/stuntman, the health vulnerable human as a result of substance abuse/ the survivor of parental suicide/ and the man.
Rosanne Kavanagh – Assistant Principal
