Respect is the
most useful thing
that will stay with
me. I really loved

Working with Metropolitan Community College and the
Omaha Public Schools
, the emPOWERment project
launched
Respect and Manners at School and Work
with three 6th-grade classes, meeting February–May 2009.
The outcome far exceeded even our most optimistic
expectations (click on

With your help...
...we can introduce this life-changing program to more
students and  grade levels
and train classroom facilitators this
summer and fall.
Our long-term goal is for all students in
grades 6 through 12 to have the benefit of
Respect and
Manners
in their classrooms.

For the coming school year, we hope to expand the program
to ten elementary schools that feed into the same middle
school. That way we can design the 7th-grade curriculum for a
group of students who are already familiar with the program
and how it works.

The goals are huge, ambitious, and far-reaching, with benefits
that can transform not only students but their communities.
With your help, we can accomplish these goals, and we
all will
benefit.

ABOVE: The culminating event — a formal
luncheon at Metropolitan Community College
— was thrilling ... as students diligently
practiced their manners in the receiving line
and shook hands with the college president,
the board of governors president, other
board members, and several donors. The
luncheon speaker was a young woman who
overcame a troubled child-hood to finish her
education and qualify for a wonderful,
satisfying career — teaching troubled youth
at the high school she had dropped out of!
