The
Giraffe Heroes Program
for grades K-2, 3-5, 6-9 & 10-12
|
“The
kids love the Giraffe stories! I think it gives them a solid
foundation, a framework for their compassion. I’d recommend
this program without a doubt! A lot of teachers have an interest
in service learning and it’s
scary to take on new stuff. This program is nicely laid out,
it is really attractive and fun. It makes it easy.” —Jacy
Griffin, teacher, Silverwood School, Poulsbo WA
“When
I started looking for materials on community service I was lost.
The Giraffe Heroes Program gave me the confidence to get started,
and it gave the kids—and the school—a better image.
The kids all decided community service is fun, not boring, and
wanted to do more.” —Diana Mason, teacher,
Wyeast Middle School, Hood River OR

| “I
needed a guide and this was a great one! It really empowers
the kids. For my kids it was the first time in a long time
that they made decisions, lived with the consequences and fixed
their decisions. It took perserverence. They saw that no idea
was a bad idea. Kids disagreed respectfully. It taught them
to be in community and get to an endpoint.” —Fran
Sharpe, teacher, Jewish Studies, Cohen Hillel Studies Academy,
Cambridge MA |

| “I
think what you have in The Giraffe Heroes Program is unique.
Other programs have the intellectual portion, but you’ve
also incorporated empathy, appreciating and respecting people,
celebrating people, and emotional IQ—and you’ve
developed the strategies that work.” —Stephen
Martin, instructor of gifted students, Olympia WA |
