“Mr. Hall taught me that greatness is within all of us and that people are such amazing beings. They can be much more than they are and that you can be successful. He always speaks powerful words every day.”
“…I have had two children come through this program and my oldest has gone on to middle school and used the skills he got from this program and has become an ‘A’ student… the program offers a lot to the school and community…”
“…the relationship AMI has developed with each and every child in the program are a testament to their dedication to the students and their wish for them to succeed… my son and many others like him have learned how to be a young man, be an upstanding citizen and learn how to participate in their own destiny”
“…AMI has inspired me to be successful for the rest of my life. It also helped me learned about credit and about high school and college. Other children can learn from Mr. Hall. AMI is the best afterschool program I’ve been to.”
“…both of my children attended the AMI program. My son is in the also in an IEP program at his school. At the beginning of the school year he was having trouble writing and reading. Now thanks to the extra help at the AMI program he can write full sentences and read level one books. For picture day my son wanted to wear a suit because Mr. Hall wears a suit…”
“As an educator… in my last 15 years of teaching I have never come upon a program that is so through and consistent with teaching skills that will allow students to become tolerant and empathetic, and understanding of each other… At the end of the school year with tears in her eyes my daughter came to me and told me that she missed the program and the adults that cared so much about her there. Needless to say, we returned.”
“There was a very positive atmosphere in this classroom. The staff did a good job of engaging all and making learning fun. Other grade levels were engaged in homework help in other rooms. Mr. Hall is very animated. His enthusiasm is contagious… Both students and staff know how much he cares about the content of the program. Character is essential. The caring and sharing during this activity was very obvious.”
“Every significant indicator of student success improved for the young men who were involved in the pilot program. The staff of AMI are able to reach each student at his level and find out what is right about them. AMI has been a true force for good at Academy Park High School. I hope that I can have this program here for many years to come.”
“The tone during this activity was very positive. The staff seemed to know the students well and genuinely care about their learning and succeeding. This type of atmosphere is one of the things that make this program so valuable…. AMI academic activities indicated a good relationship and coordination between the AMI program and the school, an essential component to be most effective.”
“AMI closing program was a very good experience to me, and I am still very proud that I was part of the celebration. …one of my most exciting nights of my life. Being there with my family and friends of Bartram High School, it makes me a lot happier.”
“Mr. Hall is an outstanding individual. Through his valuable program and mentoring, he has been responsible for a life changing impact on our male students at George Clymer School. His workshops were conducted with the utmost professionalism and passion to see our students succeed in life. His level of commitment is genuine and sincere…”
“I have found the Walking in Honor™ program to be excellent for our seventh and eighth grade boys. Robert and his staff have brought to our children a well structured program that teaches our children responsibly, respect, and integrity.”
