Three large screens are assembled together to create a 43-foot wide video wall that utilizes state-of-the-art sound and video projection to captivate the attention and imagination of students. Music and movie action draws them in as they absorb moving stories that show how people can make a positive difference now to avoid dangerous and destructive choices as they grow older. 3 Screens assemblies connect with students in a way that is interesting to them!

Can I really do anything if I just try hard enough? If you’re asking about the most important things, the answer is, “Yes, I can do that!”

The Middle School/Junior High version does not include the driver-safety stories contained in the 7-12 version seen on the High School tab, and it includes a middle school-aged “hero” as the closing story in place of the older "hero" seen in the 7-12 version.
The Summary is the same for both versions:
In a culture that is always promising and often delivering new and better ways of doing things, there remain some things that cannot change, and others that should not change. Many rules are really only about timing: “Is this a good thing for now?” or ”Is this something that will be better later?”
Instant gratification can be awesome, but it can also result in great harm. Delayed gratification brings deeper and richer rewards, and rarely does harm.
We should “Seize the day!” Many things should be done now. Many sensations should be felt now.
Other things should be saved for later. It is very satisfying to finally get something you’ve saved for or achieve something you’ve worked toward. No one should miss out on that great sensation!
Stories of tragedy and triumph will be the heart of the message involving:
Abuse of Prescription Drugs Alcohol Poisoning Drunk Driving Speeding Cyber-Bullying Overcoming Obstacles Changing Your Future

While this version is appropriate for grades 6-12, if your audience will be limited to grades 6-9, you might prefer to view the 6-9 version, seen on the Middle School tab. The 6-9 version does not include driver safety stories and includes a middle school-aged hero story in place of the prom story at the end of this version.

“I have an image to maintain.” Much of our emotional energy is spent on either upholding or changing our image. We should care about our image, but we can care too much. When does concern about our image become a problem? It becomes a problem when we care more about what people think we are than we care about what we really are. We can have a great image, and not be such a great person. We can also be a great person, and have an image problem. Appearances can be deceiving.
What are the mirages? Maybe it’s a girl starving herself because she is wanting to look like a model, or a guy taking steroids so he can look ripped. Maybe we think smoking will make us look cool, or maybe we try the drugs or drink only because we don’t want to look “un-cool”. Those are the mirages. They seem like ways to make your life better. They look real. But are they what they seem to be?
Students tell their own stories after experiencing the consequences of:
Eating Disorders ● Steroids ● Drugs ● Alcohol Poisoning ● Drunk Driving
A quadriplegic teen with an incredible attitude and a former Miss Virginia who risks her self-image for kids with cancer model life choices that transcend images and mirages!
Featuring Music by:
Weezer * Silversun Pickups * Paramor * Carolina Liar * Foo Fighters * MU330 * Flobots * Flyleaf
Movie clips and sports action create energy throughout the presentation!
Thanks for an inspiring and motivational show!! Both our staff and students thoroughly enjoyed it!!

The BEST assembly we've ever had. Students and teachers raved about it for days. We still talk about it when the subject of assemblies come up. It really pushes students to consider people beyond themselves. The students shown are real people doing real things. This encourages our students to understand that they have the power to do the same.

Students and teachers, alike, enjoyed the presentation of Me @ My Best. The animation and music kept the students interest and the stories of kids thinking of others before themselves were very inspirational.

The show was very engaging for our students Grades K - 5. It was fun and exciting but also had a really super message for the students to take with them as they left school for the summer. Many of the students commented on how 'real' it seemed with stories of 'real' kids. They could really relate to it.

Loved the real-life examples of kids who had taken a difficult situation and made positive steps to make a difference and improve things. The facilitators did a great job as well. I was really impressed that all of the equipment fit in one van. The kids loved the music and video clips. Excellent assembly!

The 3-screen production entitled "Jigsaw" kept our kids' attention the entire time that it was running. I had a number of students and staff stop and comment on it in a positive manner. It tied in particularly well with our "Red Ribbon" week and the other activities that we did during the week.
