“Last week I attended the maturation program with my fifth-grade daughter. It was FANTASTIC!! Carrie Ann did a great job of putting the girls at ease with laughter and fun stories. She more than exceeded our expectations. I appreciate that CSD provides these presentations to make it easier to start the conversation at home. Thank you!” ~ Monet Palmer

“I attended maturation at Draper Park Middle School last night. I just wanted to write in and let you know how fantastic the presenter was. My daughter was so nervous and didn't know what to expect. Although we had gone through things at home, she was a little unsettled about how it would play out in a group. The presenter was excellent! Thank you for having such a fun, educational and informative evening.” ~ Marcia Johns

“Hello Carrie Ann! Thank you so much for spending time with the sweet girls at Legacy Elementary. It was by far the best presentation EVER! You’re the best! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!” ~ Ele Carter Morgan

“We were at Barratt Elementary last night and you did such a great job! At 39 years old, I learned a ton! Just want to say that tonight was amazing! I will be honest and say I almost didn’t come, thinking that I had taught my daughter everything! You were simply born to influence others with your positive delivery. God bless you, and my prayers of continued good health.” ~ Anonymous

“Absolutely fabulous presentation on maturation today. Thank you for sharing your time and personality with Channing Hall School. The girls ran out giggling and feeling so good. Saying how awesome it was and an energy of complete excitement for womanhood and what is happening to them. Thank you! You have a beautiful soul and such a gift. Thank you for sharing it!” #grateful ~ Jen Mason

“You were fabulous last night at Butler Middle School. I attended with my youngest and only daughter as well as some of her friends and their moms. I loved watching her giggle—no, full on laugh! Thank you for sharing your humor, talent, experience, and love with these girls!” ~ Anonymous

“First, you have awesome hair. Thank you for coming to Eagle Crest yesterday. Amazing job! You opened so many doors for talking to our sons about how awesome it is to be a man. I work in health care and so many moms and dads are so ashamed of talking to their kids. Hello... it’s 2019! Let’s talk! Let’s be proud! Let’s talk to our kids about the body and the amazing things it can do. I had my daughter watch the self breast exam video you have posted. She had so many great questions! So thank you. Thank you!” ~ Anonymous

“My daughter and I attended your maturation program tonight at Eaglecrest Elementary. You were AMAZING! Thank you for making tonight informative and fun. We both walked away feeling great about being women. Keep up the great work!” ~ Anonymous

“Where were you when my other sons had to do this? You and your message are amazing! I felt inspired. In the car on the way home, my son said, “Mom, she was so funny and made me not scared of growing up at all.” I am going to make my older sons come next year even though they are in college. Haha! Thank you Canyons District for bringing you to us! We learned so much!” ~ Lisa Ward

“That was awesome. You made it so fun and relaxed. I wish you taught my class at that age.

Never quit teaching this!” ~ Denise Bohn Thomas

Before that class my son was afraid of even learning about puberty or anything else and I had no idea how to help him past that. He loved your class and is no longer afraid of being a young man and developing into a grown man. Your work is valued and appreciated!” ~ Jenna De Young

“That was amazing! You made this night so much fun. My daughter asked if she could go again!” ~ Heidi Jones Stoddard

“I just want to let Canyons District and the other decision makers on speakers for the Maturation Program know that Nurse Carrie Ann Kemp is fabulous! My daughter and I attended her presentation at Albion Middle School. Carrie Ann was a dynamic presenter. She made the topic so approachable and as crazy as this sounds, because of her it was actually entertaining and fun. Her slides were also very good. Exactly as they should be—graphics and few words. She was very informative but in an absolutely delightful and real way. Very impressed.” ~ Christine Menges

“Again, you were so amazing! This is my second time listening to you and both times were great. I was nervous we would get stuck with a “boring school nurse”, and I was beyond happy when I saw you tonight. Opened so many doors to be able to talk to my Brooklyn. Thank you!” ~ Anonymous

“I think you are totally awesome, Carrie Ann. Every woman and daughter needs to feel that they are important, and you helped make my daughter and I both feel very special last night. Thank you for all you do. I’m proud of all your work. I lost my mom due to breast cancer. It’s a very personal thing to me. I just wanted to say thank you for helping to teach my daughter about her maturing body. You did a wonderful job! She said "It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.” Haha... Silly 11-year-old girls!” ~ Anonymous

I’ve talked with my daughter about all the lovely lady things we get to encounter, so I figured I wouldn’t miss anything. Boy, was I wrong! I am so glad I went! Another perspective, with a dash of humor can be a game changer... And you delivered! Thank you also for sharing your story.” ~ Mrs. K

“Dr. Briscoe: I don’t know if the district ever asks you for feedback on people like the speaker last night at Mount Jordan Middle School for the Girl’s Maturation Program but I wanted to give you some helpful feedback. She was amazing! Funny! Knowledgeable! Direct. Fast. Relatable. All the girls were involved and engaged in the presentation and it seemed like 95% of moms loved her, too. People were laughing and responding well to her stuff. She did a great job. Thank you.” ~ Rae Henline
