Welcome to The Way To Go

Dear Parent,

The Way To Go is more than just a collection of poems and stories. It is a book about being better sons and daughters, better students, neighbors, and citizens. It is a book about the hope you have that your children will grow up practicing good behaviors and making good decisions.

Thank you for reading The Way To Go with your child. Some very generous people in your community have made it possible for your family to receive the volume. Their names are listed in the front of the book. We have made it easy for you and your child to thank them for their generosity. Just visit the website, www.waytogoprogram.com. It would mean a lot to these good people to hear from you and your family.

Because communication with our children is more important than ever in a world with so many negative influences, we thought it might be helpful to provide some ideas for discussion of the character topics and values incorporated in The Way To Go. Please take a look at the Family Discussion Worksheet and other pages designed for parents and guardians. We hope they help you as you continue to teach your children the citizenship values they will carry with them throughout life.
