"Juggling life was a great way to help kick off our MAP/EOC testing.
We are a K-12 district and Mr. Payne was able to provide our district with
 a program that all grade levels were able to enjoy and leave with a
determination to excel in their testing."

“Mr. Payne’s presentation made a huge impact on our students who were still talking about the things he had to say and the things he did days after he left. There’s no doubt that lives were changed because of this man and what he had to offer.”
