From Schools:
“You were tremendous! I loved when you juggled the apples and I will give up sugar eating and soda drinking cause I saw your show.”
– John G, 4th Grader, Hartford, CT
“ToBeFit has just finished his 1st show and I have to say it was a “huge hit” !!! He nailed it! The students were into the program and I know most learned a great deal – hopefully with what we are doing here at Wantage School, encouraging good nutrition/physical activity, and with FoodPlay assembly/educational materials our students will embrace a healthy lifestyle!!! Your materials will be used a great deal throughout the year. Again thank you for a wonderful and informative program! It was money well spent by our PTO!!!
– Deborah Fisher, MS, RN Wantage School Nurse, Wantage, NJ
“Excellent show! ToBe FIt was amazing! She was fun, entertaining, and the kids couldn’t stop talking about it! I had parents and grandparents tell me that their children and grandchildren came home sharing their new knowledge on nutrition!
– Alison Celmer, Principal, Shelburne Community School, Shelburne, VT
“Fabulous Show! ToBe Fit captivated the audience from the start with her educational and entertaining interactions. Witty script and full of tangible facts. My daughter has been asking about the nutritional value of foods since the assembly. And she does remind me that “whoa” foods aren’t “never” foods… they just are occasional foods. I was happy that the assembly left her informed, well-balanced but not extreme!”
– Kirsi Ide, Parent Teacher Organization Chair, Brownsville Elementary School, Crozet, VA
“A very valuable hands on learning experience! Very glad to have had the opportunity to experience the ToBe Fit Show with my students! Kids were really excited to see their peers up on stage participating.”

– Anita Garnett, Parent, Beardsley & Memorial Library, Winsted, CT
“The best show I’ve seen at a library – ever! Not only does it have amazing magic and wonderful juggling, but the actor was great! The show was so much fun and engaging to both children and adults, and with such an important message about nutrition! A totally enjoyable show, and my daughter wanted to eat apples by the end! What a perfect way to get the healthy message across to kids!“
– Hillary Haft Bucs, Parent, Hatfield Library, Hatfield MA, and Assoc. Professor of Theater, Western New England University, Springfield, MA
“ToBe Fit was fabulous! She has a passion for what she does – and it’s all good – nutrition, exercise, and just feeling good about yourself! Both children and adults were enthralled by this fast paced and entertaining show. Our patrons were fully engaged and participated eagerly! Everyone had such a great time and now they know how to juggle! And, thanks for your autographed book for our collection. I’m sure it will be very popular with our patrons. Wonderful show! We hope to see you next summer!”
– Carole Mazzarino, Assistant Youth Services Librarian, Richard Salter Storrs Library, Longmeadow, MA
