Testimonial – District

“Both of my children were a part of iCARE, and I loved what I saw as a parent. I think the fact that the readings took place each year enhanced learning and understanding over time. My own children were very at ease with their peers who looked or acted differently, and I attributed this to the iCARE readings.  As a teacher I loved how the program was managed and carried out by trained parents. In addition, I appreciated that this program utilized excellent children’s literature and was not an add-on.  It took the slot of silent reading or bullying prevention. Finally, I had the opportunity to help bring the program to a neighboring town where I teach. It was very well received by students, parents, teachers and administrators. iCARE is a program directed towards students without special needs. This program provides an opportunity for children to ask their questions and then once educated, they are better able to support all of their peers. In closing, I do believe that the iCARE program has positively changed the fabric of our Mansfield.”
