One five-year-old walks around with his Workbook saying, “When is it time for ‘I Care’?”
“I’ve found ‘I Care’ to be beneficial in and out of the classroom,” stated one teacher.
A teacher went out and bought her own incentives when her allotment ran out because she was seeing such transformation with “I Care” and wanted to keep up the momentum.
Many parents comment on how committed they and their children are to the “I Care” principles.
Kids throughout the district are wearing their “I Care” T-shirts two and three times a week, even though it’s only required on “I Care” day.
One principal noted, “It’s a terrific way to measure parental involvement.”
Migrant parents are coming to the school for the first time.
“I wish I’d have had ‘I Care’ with my older children.”
A teenager reminded his mom, “You’re supposed to say positive things!”
“I look forward to the activities each month,” said a mother of a second-grader.
With tears in her eyes, a mother shared that getting the positive contact each month was the first time she’d heard anything good about her child.
