Salley Martin – Guidance Counselor, Three Points Elementary

          ”Our teachers and staff have appreciated the tremendous support that Three Points Elementary has received from the Learning for Life Program. Because of the great resources and technical support … we have been able to implement a comprehensive character education program! ….

          The Learning for Life lessons are developmentally appropriate and correspond so well to the guidance curriculum goals as well as our bullying prevention program goals. The teacher manuals make it easy for the teachers to implement relevant lessons.”

Diane Taylor – 1^st Grade Teacher, Conway Elementary

          “The first grade team has been using the lesson plans and the Family/Home Activities each month. We really appreciate the effort. …. The plans are fantastic.”

Anne H. Geisler – Principal, Hunter’s Creek Elementary

          “Our school climate is the result of the conscious daily efforts of faculty and staff to create an “invitational school.” As a high performing school, we are very aware that for students to acquire academic knowledge, we must first make them feel welcome and comfortable in their learning environment. We use Learning for Life lessons, coupled with class meetings, to reinforce the basic principles of respect, kindness, responsibility, and community. Our parent volunteers are trained to deliver Learning for Life lessons in the classrooms too, making the home-school connection that extends our values education into the community. Learning for life gives staff, students, and parents a way to work together as we develop young citizens that will have the strength of character needed to lead the world of the future.

Crispin Hydock – 4th Grade Teacher, Hunter’s Creek Elementary

          “Learning for Life is not a program that is done just monthly or weekly, it is a daily commitment to reach for a higher plateau in life. Lessons about life occur on a daily basis. Challenges will follow our students throughout their lives into adulthood. Learning for Life lessons foster community, emphasize confidence, self esteem, and forges bods in the classroom. Learning for Life attributes follow our students into adulthood so that they may build a cohesive community in our ever-changing multicultural world. Our students are like a treasure box overflowing with jewels – each a different size and color, each needing a little “polishing,” and each sparkling from within with vibrancy and radiance.”

Marie Cashion – Assistant Principal, Three Points Elementary

          “As one of the schools in Orange County Public Schools, we have been fortunate enough to have the Learning for Life curriculum in our school. Our guidance counselor is very active in supporting the teachers and staff as they use the curriculum and the resources in this program to help our students learn responsible behavior and good values that will last them a life time.” …..
