The positive, character based songs have been enjoyed by ALL of us! The teachers were able to incorporate the music into their daily routines. The students loved the music. On a field trip they bursted into song!

This program was fantastic! All the children know and love the songs - I've heard them use the words, (character qualities) while talking with each other. When I use the characteristics now, they know what I mean!

These songs have brought a sense of community and common goals to our school.

"This is Where I Live" is being hummed or sung by students and staff all the time! This is helping to build a sense of community. We're going to continue to use this as our school wide weekly affirmation in order to capitalize on and continue to grow a sense of family and communiy. GREAT material - powerful and empowering. Thank You.

I feel that the cooperation of all the teachers and students learning common songs, then presenting them at the assembly, demonstrated community and unity. I got goosebumps!

I have noticed that students remember the song and sing or hum them while working. I can also ask questions about the values in the songs and students have an easier time discussing them.

I thought it was great to have used many different musical genres and it was wonderful to see a live performance. It sounded so beautiful and moving seeing our students singing with emotion and sucher powerful words. Thank you!

"This is Where I Live' was so inspiring and motivating. Students were enthusiastic and enjoyed the program. They are very eager to continue singing.

It's great for students to realize that they are part of a larger commuity; in this case, the school, as opposed to just their classroom.

This program fits in well with 'Character Counts' and 'Camp Griffo' programs.
