Testimonials From Other Educators

What are other health care professionals and educators saying about Tar Wars? Here’s a sampling.

“This program was done exceptionally well and geared toward my kids. I was very impressed. Great job!”
Celeste Flanagan, Teacher, Webster Elementary, Clinton, Illinois

“The most important aspect of the Tar Wars program was how it was easily integrated into our State Health Education Standards. In evaluating the Tar Wars program from a standards-based student performance curriculum, it is clear that this program assists students in meeting said standards.”
Celine S. Forte, RN, CSNT, MEd, William Winsor School, Greenville, Rhode Island

“Most states have identified the ‘critical elements, content, or core knowledge’ they expect their students to learn and know. Tar Wars is not only research-based to be developmentally appropriate and utilize teaching strategies that will appeal to the targeted age group, but the information presented is scientifically accurate and can be found in health and science curriculums across the country.

As a school nurse and educator, I know that information is more relevant and the messages more lasting when students can connect the data with feelings and personal experiences. Tar Wars fits into a simple classroom format – few pieces of equipment, short presentation time, and ability to be understood by students with a wide range of intellectual, social, and emotional abilities.”
Jane Tustin, RN, MSN, Past President of the National Association of School Nurses
