DeShon and Cheryl Jenkins pictured here with student Joshua Bateman. Both Cheryl and DeShon are elementary school teachers. Having used the program in the classroom, DeShon says, “As my students began to believe in themselves the class developed a sense of unity and respect for each other that wasn’t there before.”

“It gives me great pleasure to recommend the approved program ‘I Am...All About Me’ to you.“ “The program gave student’s benchmarks of character traits and a toolbox of practical concepts to draw from as they face and meet the challenges of their personal and academic life.” “The program not only builds an awareness in the participants of their responsibility to themselves but to the community at large.” “The children especially enjoyed the songs, which are utilized in the program to re-enforce the character and learning principles set out in the program’s curriculum. They were genuinely happier with themselves after realizing their value and capabilities.” “This is a core curriculum for character development. It lays the foundation for all other programs and activities which are designed to enhance a student’s self-esteem and character.” “Upon completing the program students performed as a way of demonstrating what they learned” DON W.
