“This program holds additional value because it is easy for
our teachers to integrate the curricula in their classrooms. Due to the fact that
the classroom curriculum is aligned to National Health Standards as well as
State Academic Content Standards, teachers do not have to veer away from
teaching the required core academic subjects of math, English language arts,
social studies, and science.”
– Mary G. Maul, Principal of Scranton
K-8 School in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District in OH
“In the past, I have always had a difficult time
incorporating a health curriculum into the classroom. With so many standards to
meet in the core subjects like Math, Reading, and Writing, Health curriculums
often get pushed to the side. However, the Road of Life health curriculum has
changed that in my classroom.”
– Kimberly Frank, 4th grade
teacher at Tanque Verde Elementary School in Tucson, AZ
“Road of Life’s lessons are well thought out and can be
easily adapted in any classroom. ROL serves a special niche in our schools that
was previously void. Without ROL, children would be at a great disadvantage in
learning how to lead a happy, healthy life.”
– Mandy Duff, M.Ed., 1st
grade teacher at Cincinnati Hebrew Day School in OH
“I was speechless when I came across the Road of Life
website. I am thrilled that the lessons are available to our school for free.
The lessons are extremely interactive, encouraging all students to participate.
They also cross several subject areas, not just health.”
– Agatha Kusenda, Guidance Counselor
at Brainerd Baptist School in Chattanooga, TN
“Road of Life improves the health knowledge of all students
that are involved in the program. We even featured their work in the College’s
Annual Report Magazine.”
– Lori Bolton, Assistant Director for
the Practice Education and Career Services in The Ohio State University College
of Public Health
“All the lessons in the After School Program were easy to
use and integrate in to our current programs. The kids loved learning important
lessons while enjoying the activities, the facilitators loved the user friendly
content. After using Road of Life’s programs, the children experienced an
increase in knowledge through education, a change in attitude through awareness
and exposure, and a change in behavior through action and performance. I look
forward to using this curriculum during our after school program and for next
summer.”
– Lisa Palmer, Executive Director for the
Olde Southside Community Partnership
“I am a very strong advocate of the Road of Life: Cancer
Prevention for Kids program and the innovative work they have done with
Columbus Public Schools.”
– Andrew Ginther, Columbus City Council
(Former Columbus Public School Board Member)
“By providing this information to children, we are teaching
them that they are not only responsible for their personal health but in the
future they can choose to be responsible for helping others become healthier. The
sheer diversity of each curriculum demonstrates ROL’s ability to seek several
avenues to fight against and eventually help solve the main problem of chronic
illness.”
– Denisha E. Garland, MPH, SIT with
the Cincinnati Health Department
“As an organization, Road of Life is committed to raising
awareness, making a difference and changing lives.”
– Ann Lewicki, Public Health Program
Manager for Columbus Public Health
