Ron Blocker - Superintendent of Orange County Public Schools

"The 2003-2004 school year is the fifth year of Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) participation in a Partner in Education relationship with Learning for Life. We have 30 schools throughout Orange County that participate and over 21,000 students who benefit from the various programs offered.

        It is with great pleasure that I endorse the continued partnership between OCPS and the Learning for Life program. This program has proven to be beneficial to both students and staff. With the help of this program, the partnership schools provide students with lessons in character education, respect and responsibility as well as helping to boost self esteem. This program has also proven to be a benefit in complimenting the curriculum used by teachers of students who suffer from behavior disorders. This innovative public-private partnership has more than proven itself in making a difference in the lives of students and staff within Orange County."

Jolie Johnson - Behavior Specialist, Columbia Elementary School

"The Learning for Life curriculum ... has helped my program more than I could have imagined. I have worked with children with behavior disorders for six years and I have never used another curriculum that complemented my program so extensively."

Susan Moncrief - Dean of Students, Lawton Chiles Elementary School

"One of my favorite parts of this school year was working on Learning for Life and the character education lessons ... The program helped the children with their behavior and taught them how to make better choices."

Cyndy Hetrick - CRT, Bay Meadows Elementary School

"Parents and students have responded positively to the [Learning for Life] program. Learning and practicing respect, responsibility, and other traits of good citizenship have had a positive impact on the students at school and at home."

Carolyn Benjamin - Assistant Principal, Grand Avenue Elementary

"[Learning for Life] ... was found to be a helpful supplement to our established curriculum. ... Our Learning or Life representative has been of tremendous help and support. She has truly helped us meet the needs of our students."

Jolie Johnson - Behavior Specialist, Columbia Elementary School

"Thanks to the Learning for Life Program, my teaching has been enhanced and thus more effective. ... I have worked with children with behavior disorders for six years and I have never used another curriculum that complemented my program so extensively."

Rebekah J. Pixomatis - Third Grade Teacher, Conway Elementary School

"In today's society children often are not taught the basic skills of respect, responsibility, and citizenship ... Learning for Life meets this great need by providing appropriate lessons in social skills training through a variety of hands-on experiences, real-world problem solving and creative activities."

Chris - Lancaster Elementary School

"The Learning for Life Program has enabled me to identify the particular needs of my students and to provide them with wholesome life long skills. My students have learned to take responsibility for making good, solid choices in life. They have also learned that choice brings about consequences either good or bad. ..."
