SUCCESS STORIES
Success Stories From Teachers:
1st Grade Program
"This is a great presentation and a very good reminder for our students. Thank you for taking the time and providing another way of presenting a touchy subject with our children."
3rd Grade Program
"Thank you for coming each year. You cover topics that need to be addressed. Sometimes parents neglect or are embarrassed to discuss these difficult topics."
7th Grade Program
"The information and the way it was presented was excellent! The students stayed engaged and actively participated. Very excellent! Mr. Brandon (Your volunteer) was wonderful!"
10th Grade Program
"You tell interesting stories that are good examples. You are very approachable to the students. The parent vs. teenager characteristics and the stories about what babies and children can and can't do during various life stages meets our curriculum's course study."
"I am so pleased Hartselle High School students have the opportunity to hear this program. It has such an impact on them. Thank you PACT for the service that you do."
Customer Satisfaction Survey 2005 (from program participants)
"Classes were very informative - interesting - teacher was excellent."
"This program has helped me with my needs and also helped me to set goals for myself and my family."
Response to question: "Would you refer a neighbor to PACT?"
"Yes, absolutely because sometimes just a few words of encouragement from someone else can be a great source of motivation and sometimes that's all that is needed."
"Because PACT helped me find a job they will help others."
Response to question: "What did you learn at PACT?"
"How to deal with an angry child, how to comfort him without making him angrier, how to calm him down and not only show but make him feel and know it's ok."
"I would advise anyone who needed help, guidance, or advice to go through this program."
"On behalf of my family, I would like to say thank you for everything."
Excerpt from a letter received from a program participant:
We are a husband and wife with 3 little angels that we commonly call our children. We were directed to PACT because we were in need of help with our car repair. We arranged to meet with one of your staff at 10:00 AM the very next morning. When we arrived we were greeted and directed to the right area before we could even get inside! Once inside, everyone was so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very conducive to parents and children. We were comfortable and welcomed. This is outstanding because throughout the profusely painful 4-year hardship (understatement), we have been forced to seek help in many different places. Unfortunately in most of these places, we've encountered treatment that only added to our despair. This was NOT the case at PACT. We were never once disrespected or condescended to by any PACT representative. Our questions were politely answered. Your staff was both professional and caring. She really did listen to us. When she counseled us concerning our budget, it was not with accusation. She told us what would happen next and what was our part to play. I really want to thank the PACT family for the help they gave us and most of all, how they gave it to us. They made us feel a part of them - like our family joined their family. PACT came through for us. Thank you so much. ~11/05
