TESTIMONIALS
“I am delighted with Manners of
the Heart. It is a desperately needed program.
I do trust it will be eagerly received
by thousands, and carefully studied by
multiplied thousands.”
Elisabeth Elliot, Speaker/Author
Keep a quiet Heart, Passion and Purity,
Through Gates of Splendor
“In my 27 years of teaching, I have
never used a program that has so impacted
my children’s lives the way Manners
of the Heart does.”
Ann Schoemaker
Second Grade Teacher St. James Elementary
“Believing that good manners creates
a better learning environment, our traditional
public school is using the Manners of the
Heart program. We are inspired by the 36-week
time frame of activities, which helps build
character and restore and maintain discipline
and values in our students. The characters
in the program enhance the learning process
in our young learners. Most of all, this
program involves our entire school family,
including parents and community.”
Velma Wince
Elementary School District Theme Coordinator
“Dear Mrs. Jill, I love Manners of
the Heart.”
Danielle Wright
Five year old Student
“In our society today we have young
people with vast amounts of knowledge,
but many who are lacking in traits of honesty,
integrity, and respect. Manners of the
Heart is changing this trend by helping
educators and parents build a foundation
for good character beginning in the early
years.”
Larry Koenig, Ph.D.
Speaker and author, Smart Discipline
in the Classroom
“Everyone, even grandparents and
the PTA, is involved with Manners of the
Heart. It’s making a big difference
in our school—we know it will have
a lifelong positive impact on our students
and their families.”
Cindy McKenzie
Principal, Dozier Elementary
“Manners of the Heart is a wonderful
tool. I believe it is one of the best—if
not the best social skills curriculum I
have used during my 20 years as an educator.”
Mary Young
Counselor, Head Elementary
"Manners of the Heart can be infused
in food and nutrition services, social
studies, counseling services, and library
programs, providing good opportunities
for the social-emotional development of
children which support academic endeavors.”
“Well, the year is complete and
there are so many wonderful memories Wilbur
has provided. My students learned a level
of responsibility beyond their years.”
