To whom it may concern:

This week Rogers Elementary had the pleasure of hosting High Flying

Excitement to kick off our Red Ribbon Week festivities!!  The show

was amazing and really fun!!  The kids loved the trampoline show and

thought the martial arts portion of the show was super cool!!  Even

better, the kids really picked up on the message of Choices and

Consequences.  The booking process was easy and Officer Bianez was

great to work with.  We hope you will have the opportunity to

experience High Flying Excitement at your school soon!!!

Dear Officers Bianez & Privett:

We are so grateful at Country Place for what a wonderful program you brought to us!  

It was the best of everything.

We were entertained, you made us think and we left with a wonderful message about

character we will carry with us always!

Every parent, teacher, and student was touched by your message.  

Thank you also for coming out for our B-Involved night.

We look forward to more High-Flying Excitement and a Knockout Message in the future.

Amy Neely, Counselor

O.A. Peterson Elementary

Fort Worth, TX

Officer Bianez and Officer Privett,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible performance at the

“High Flying Excitement and a Knockout Message” assembly you delivered to our

school on September 26.  Your message was amazingly in-tune with our character

education program, and it served as an awesome endorsement of what we are trying to do

with our students.  We believe the Cornerstones of Character are integral in the

development in our students in becoming good citizens.

I would like to share with you that O.A. Peterson Elementary School is a brand-new

campus, and this was the first-ever assembly we had at our school.  What a fantastic way

to get things started at our school!  All of our students we mesmerized by your many

talents and humor as you delivered your message.  Bravo to a job well-done!  

We would love to invite you back next year.  Please keep up in mind when you are filling

up your calendar next year.

Best wishes to you this year.

Thanks, again.

Cyndi Lee, 4th Grade Teacher

Smith Elementary

Frisco, TX

To Whom It May Concern:

My class has been fortunate in being an audience for the High-

Flying Excitement and a Knockout Message program.  There

are many programs for our kids that are presented throughout the

year, however, this one stood above the rest

My students enjoyed this program, as it had a variety of things taking

place.  Not only was the excitement of the trampoline stunts and

martial arts entertaining, but the messages were clear and concise. 

The presenters spoke to the kids in a way that they understood.  It

was not a lecture session and kept the kids involved and attentive.

I know my students are still talking about the presentation, which

demonstrates the effect it had on them.  I highly recommend these

fabulous individuals to anyone who is interested in a high energy,

thrill seeking, concrete message for their students. 

Amy Prechtl, 2nd Grade Teacher

Rasor Elementary

Plano, TX

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to express our appreciation for the High Flying Excitement and a

Knowledge Message presented at Rasor Elementary yesterday.   My second grade class

not only enjoyed the program, but they also learned a great deal about respect and making

good choices.  

When the students were leaving for the day yesterday I heard numerous discussions about

the fact that they plan to stay “Drug free” just like the “cool” guys that visited.  The

students returned this morning with as much enthusiasm.  They were quoting and talking

about the program.  Continued discussion will be a great way to keep communication

open about drug awareness for the whole year.  

This was the 3rd time I’ve seen this program and I get something new from it each time. 

It is very exciting and engaging.  It is a wonderful way to set up Red Ribbon/Drug

awareness week.  I look forward to seeing the program year after year.  

Anne Sullivan, 3rd Grade Teacher

Christie Elementary

Plano, TX

To Whom it May Concern:

I want to send a big thank you for the wonderful assembly this morning at

Christie Elementary.  We have been to many assemblies, and I have to say this one was

by far the best.  The message was so important, and the Officers were able to keep the

students’ attention by alternating between teaching the students about good character and

performing their amazing skills.  Incorporating music, teacher participation, and attention

grabbing stunts kept everyone excitedly listening and watching   My kids can’t stop

talking about the show, and I know they took a great message away.  Thanks for taking

time to speak and perform to these and all students who are lucky enough to see your

performance.

Chavez Elementary

Little Elm, TX

RE: High-Flying Excitement and a Knockout Message!

To Whom It May Concern:

Chavez has had the greatest opportunity to view the officers’

program twice this year.  Both programs were filled with excitement

and a great message.

The students thoroughly enjoyed both portions of the program. 

Many of our students have begun learning Martial Arts and being able

to see the amazing skills presented has them awed.  The students

also enjoy the comical routine and trampoline act of “Captain Fly

Boy”.

The program is appealing to the staff as well.  I found myself

enthralled with each of the acts, laughing out loud, and very

supportive of the messages delivered.  I also liked how the staff is

pulled in to participate.  Students always love to see their teachers

doing something fun.

Overall, the program is very beneficial to our staff and students. 

The officers have the unique ability to entertain us as well as deliver

an important, positive message to our students.  I hope they will be

able to continue to visit our school.

Catherine Matt, Third Grade Teacher

Chavez Elementary

Little Elm, TX

To whom it may concern,

We enjoyed Officer Bianez and Officer Privett so much that they

joined us for a second time this school year. Their first presentation was

Being Buddies not Bullies and the later on Stranger Danger. 

I highly recommend their programs to other schools. Their program is

so entertaining and dynamic that the students were excited to see them back.

They provide opportunities for the students and teachers to be involved

throughout their presentation.

They also do an excellent job of alternating the entertaining of their

talents with the teaching to keep their audience’s attention. Their music

selection sets the mood to get the students pumped up about what they are

learning.  Their teaching is very concise and easy for the students to pick up

and remember. 

The program was received well both by the students and by the staff

at our school. I find their program very humorous and entertaining. I would

like to have their programs back at our school next year.  

Elizabeth Holder, 2nd Grade Teacher

Burgin Elementary

Arlington, TX

To Whom It May Concern: 

Our school, Burgin Elementary, had the privilege of having Officers

Christopher Bianez and Lindy Privett of the Plano Police Department

perform the program, “High-Flying Excitement and a Knockout

Message”.  What a wonderful program!

Their message about the building blocks of character was very

important: honesty, compassion, courage, and perseverance.  Every

person, students and faculty, in the gym was engaged, actively

listening, and entertained.  I not only enjoyed the content, but also

their ability to incorporate music, teacher participation, and

unbelievable stunts in a one-hour program.  

My students are still talking about this presentation.  That just

ensures me that this was a program not to miss!  It was well thought

out, keeping the students’ attention by alternating between teaching

key points and performing their amazing skills.  The Officers level of

talent with martial arts, trampoline, and comedy along with a clear

message was totally captivating and something I recommend all

students to see.  

We would love to have this educational and motivational program

back again. 

JoAnn Nevarez, Bilingual Kindergarten Teacher

Christie Elementary

Frisco, Texas

To Whom It May Concern,

It is my privilege to have been part of the audience for the “High Flying

Excitement and Knockout Message” program for the third year at our school.  Officers

Christopher Bianez and Lindy Privett always present a well organized and thought-out

program that delivers important and beneficial information on character, behavior and

making good choices using humor and delightful entertainment.  

This motivating and energized assembly fully captivates audiences of all ages as

both talented officers interact together with audiences to provide age appropriate

language to convey their message using positive attitudes.  One can always sense the

engaged interest and attention of every student and staff in the audience throughout every

second of their 45 minute presentation.  

This assembly is always one of our best, and students as well as our staff always look

forward to having this assembly at our school each and every year.  This assembly is just

as its title is stated, “a knockout message with great excitement”.   

Joe Guerin, Counselor

Parkwood Hill Intermediate

Fort Worth, TX

Dear Officers Bianez and Privett,

I must say that I seen many assemblies, speakers, and

presentations for students in my eight years in education. 

However, few can match the professionalism displayed by

both of you.  

Everything from setting up to breaking down the equipment

was handled with the utmost character and pride.  The

energy displayed in the presentation of the program was

second to none and kept our students attention.  

The show allows for the anti-bullying message to be told in

a way that students do not feel like they are being

lectured.  They can quickly tune out when they feel like

they are being lectured, but from my observations during

the show, I saw many students nodding their heads in

agreement to many of the message tenets.  

I would highly recommend them to other schools and we hope

to see them again next year.

Kelli Van Winkle, 1st Grade Team Leader

Sigler Elementary

Plano, TX

I just wanted to let you know how AWESOME your program is!!  The kids

loved to see all the acrobatics and martial arts, and of course, the

message is perfect.  

I think the message has even more of an impact on the kids because they

get to see police officers in a fun & positive way.  I used to teach at

Hickey Elementary and saw your Say No to Drugs program a couple years

ago.  I loved it then, and loved the Being Buddies not Bullies program

you presented this week.  

Plus I got to go home and tell my husband that I'm now professionally

trained in the use of nunchaku!

Thanks again and hope to see you next year!!

Kevin L. Cowan, PTO President

Cottonwood Creek Elementary

Coppell, Texas

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Kevin Cowan and I am the President of the PTO at Cottonwood

Creek Elementary School in Coppell, Texas. Our PTO recently sponsored an

anti-bullying program for the students and their parents at our Spring

General Assembly. Officers Christopher Bianez and Lindy Privett of the

Plano Police Department conducted the program, “High-Flying Excitement

and a Knockout Message”.

This program was very well received by students and parents alike. The

entire program was exceptionally well formatted and provided an excellent

balance of content and entertainment. Each point in their message was

plainly stated in easy to understand language and followed up with concrete

examples to reinforce each talking point. The kids were very responsive to

the officer’s prompts and questions throughout the presentation, so it was

apparent their message was getting through to them. Not always an easy

thing to do with a group of hyperactive elementary students. The School

Principal, teachers and parents who attended the program were very pleased

with the strong but positive nature of the message and commented that they

would definitely like to host this program again in the future.

Consider this letter a unanimous endorsement from the Cottonwood Creek

PTO in favor of Officer’s Bianez and Privett’s program.

Kimberly Rider-Sealey, Music Specialist

Rose Mary Haggar Elementary

Dallas, TX

To Whom It May Concern:

Rose Mary Haggar Elementary had the privilege of having the "High

Flying Excitement and a Knockout Message!" program at our school

yesterday, April 5, 2006. What a powerful message! What a fabulous

program! The students were completely engaged and entertained

throughout the entire program.

Officers Bianez and Privett both spoke clearly and effectively to each

and every child conveying their message with positive attitudes and

kid-friendly language.

Every student in the gym was listening and engaged in the message of

Honesty, Compassion, Courage, and Perseverance. Children came away with

a clear understanding of what their goals in life should be.

On top of having a fabulous message brought to them, the students were

so energized by the incredibly talented officers. Each had so much

poise and energy, not to mention their champion attitudes toward their

skills and life.

Every child felt that they could accomplish anything...if they just

work and practice long enough. What a great message for everyone...not

just the students.

The teachers were once again thoroughly entertained and could actually

relax and enjoy the program...there was no disciplining of children

needed. What a relief to be able to sit and enjoy a program with no

worries.

We would love to have this unique and educational program back again

and so would the children.
