What Parents Are Telling Educators

"Parents are often in the office during the announcements and ALWAYS voice their approval."

Jeff Green, Principal
Cerritos, California

"Parents enjoy hearing the daily words of wisdom if they are in the building and have stated that they think it is a wonderful part of the day. They like the fact that all staff (admin. office, teachers, custodians and cafeteria staff) read and create a community."

Tom Veronesi, Assistant Principal
Berlin, Connecticut

"I have had parents catch me on campus or around town that will tell me what an impact it has had on their children. Their children will tell their parents about the Words of Wisdom for the day and will tell parents about their disappointment if the Words of Wisdom were not broadcast one day."

Lauren Boston, Counselor
Dilley, Texas

"Parents are glad to see a consistent, daily message reinforcing positive character traits and values."

Lisa Dunn, Principal
Grapevine, Texas

"Some parents who have been in the building when we do announcements have commented that they like the tone of the announcements and the idea of introducing a character education piece each day. In a previous school, a neighbor who heard the announcements over an outside speaker commented that he loved the daily message."
