Here’s What Clients Are Saying

Thanks again for speaking at Seth’s Bear Scout Den meeting last night. We really enjoyed your class. Seth says he loved it. He really liked learning about the handshakes. We both liked how you talked about different situations, settings, ages and genders too. It will be easy to remember the rule to always ask yourself if you are being: kind, courteous and respectful. It is wonderful to have someone help keep good manners alive. You were able to relate to and engage active, energetic 3rd grade boys.

Kelly Frager knows how to make etiquette fun for kids. Letting the kids play birthday party, with gifts to open, all while teaching them how to be gracious hosts is fun and effective. And what teen wouldn’t want to role play cell phone etiquette, since they are on their cell phones all the time, anyway? Kelly has a fun personality that is contagious. I bet the kids just think they are having a blast and don’t even know they learned what good manners are all about ~ making others feel comfortable and respected.

Thank you for a great class.  The girls LOVED IT!  They came home and set the table and explained everything that you should do and not to do.  They were correcting both me and Dave for things we are doing.  I learned from them.  Just wanted to say thank you for taking your time to do this with the kids.  It’s a great learning experience.

~Amy, Mom of two daughters who have taken both a social etiquette and table manners class

 

Thank you for presenting to our high school freshman. I think your presentation was valuable and made a positive impact on our students. Your message was very positive. I think it is vital for the students to start to realize that the competition for the top schools, spots in Career and Tech, etc. begins now. It also important that they realize that how they look and dress is vital to their chances for success. I also appreciated your professional approach to your presentation. You are clearly a very polished professional speaker, and that helped to add to the impact of your presentation.

I just wanted to pass along our sincere appreciation from the girls and leaders of Girl Scout Troop 1722.  Thank you for your flexibility with scheduling as well as customizing the content for our troop.  Patty and I were impressed that you were able to keep these fourth grade girls interested in the topic of manners for over an hour.  They loved it!   We enjoyed seeing all of these little young ladies excited to learn how important first impressions really are and what they need to do to make a great first impression.  This topic really meshes well with our upcoming community service project.  Even as adults we often lack the etiquette for success in making first impressions.  Patty and I felt like we came away with some good information too.  Your experience, professionalism and comfort with children made our manners class a great success!  I wanted to tell you that I ran into one of our moms in the store the next day and I asked her if her daughter enjoyed it.  I think her reaction sums it up for all of us. “This was a great idea and made a lasting impression. She couldn’t wait to put the information into action”.   I will not hesitate to recommend your services and I look forward to working with you again.

~ Erica and Patricia , Girl Scout Troop Leaders

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation on Monday and I believe the 7^th and 8^th grade students did as well. I definitely know the ten girls who participated in the presentation learned a lot about themselves…I am very happy we had the opportunity to work with you. You are a very creative and professional business woman and a wonderful role model for the students. I hope we have another opportunity to work together. ~Middle School Principal (after a “Dress Your Best Assembly”)

I believe your lessons were among the most productive and useful the students have received in our program. We can no longer assume that simple life skills are being incorporated into the lives of all students and your business fills a huge need. I can proudly say that I have watched our PEP students shake hands and introduce themselves properly on several occasions. I often refer to your lessons during our meetings and the students always immediately remember your advice and correct any misbehavior! I certainly hope I have the opportunity to work with you again next year.

~Judi, Middle School Teacher and Student Club Advisor

I would like to personally thank you for a wonderful class. Jara really enjoyed being your student and feels like she has learned so much! She said she wouldn’t change a thing and is looking forward to the next one. I think you are fabulous and loved the fact that there are still moms and dads that value manners and social etiquette in a world that seems to have forgotten them.

~Lynmarie, Mom of middle school student

We will work together again and think you are an excellent teacher, communicator and very remarkable person. We are so glad to have you be part of us as a continuing adjunct consultant and expert to SSSPA.

Lexi and Whitney loved the class. Both of them said they wanted to go more! It was very handy this past weekend when Whitney was going to a birthday party. We pulled out your sheet with the party etiquette and reviewed it. The same evening we were having rice for dinner. Lexi reminded Whitney how they were supposed to scoop their rice (and their soup if they have it!) It was cute! Thanks very much. I thought it was well worth the time!

~Aimee

Kelly is the epitome of graciousness, and her classes and camps teach skills so rare – and so needed – in our culture today. I wish I could make all the lawyers go to Kelly’s class.

The Kids Also Have Something to Say

(If I could only share all the adorable pictures that I get as thank you notes. They make my day!)

 

Thank you so much for coming to our school and teaching us how to dress when we go on an interview. Also, thank you for telling us how to act appropriately. You helped me look forward to a lot in my future. It was a pleasure to have you here with us. Thanks again for everything you have done for us.

~Shobika, Middle School Student

 

Thank you for teaching me this week! I had an awesome time! I hope I can come next year! And have more fun!

~Steven, 2^nd grader

 

Thank you for coming to our Brownie meeting and teaching us handshakes and manners and answering the phone, using eye contact and firmly shaking hands. You made manners fun!

~Brownies of Troop 5004

 

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to visit our class. I learned about the importance of first impressions…Most importantly, you should never judge a person on how they look before you get to know them.

~Brynn, 6^th grader

 

Thank you for teaching me for all 4 classes. All of them were great. You are very very nice. If I had to pick the nicest teacher I’ve had, it would definitely be you!

~Shannon, 4^th grader
