What Some Colleagues Have Said
Your magazine has proven to be an invaluable tool that connects student with good decision making skills needed in today’s society. I use the monthly subscription for both health classes and silent reading classes for a 20 minute period.
Yours in the Fight,

We appreciate Listen very much and distribute it to all of our freshman health classes every month. Our teachers refer to articles in it...assigning articles from it. I want to thank the people who support this program financially for your continued help...I can see why national and state accrediting agencies use your work as the standard for all others.
Principal,
Holland Christian High School (Michigan)
Thank you so much for sponsoring Listen as we continue our battle against drugs. The magazines are extremely well written and provide a meaningful and positive approach to our young people. Our four health teachers use them often. The students do reports about drugs and role-play many situations that will hopefully assist them in their future decision making.
