- "Thanks for the great experience. I really enjoyed the activities that we were involved in at MHHS. Especially the CSI session. Thank you for the time and effort that you put in to make the afternoon great! :)" - Taylyn 2012 Operation Minerva Participant.
- "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Mackenzie had a wonderful experience at Operation Minerva. How fortunate for her to be involved in such a great program. I truly believe that it opened her eyes to other options in the world (the day also affirmed that she really wants to be a pilot . . . ... she asked me if we could look into signing her up to get her aviation learners license (good grief) . . . $$$yikes!!) She isn't one to share the 'going ons' of the day, but she certainly shared a lot about the Operation Minerva day with our family last night. Thanks again!" - Tara Salmon, parent of an Operation Minerva 2012 participant.
- "On behalf of our school I want to send a huge thank you to Praxis and all the people involved with Operation Minerva. All the girls that I have talked to had nothing but huge praise on the way everything was run. For girls to come back that excited and want to share with me the experience they had speaks volumes about your program. We look forward to returning again next year." - Robert Grisonich, Principal of Notre Dame Academy, one of Operation Minerva 2012 participating schools.
