Education Elevators has left a very impactful mark on our students. Students love having their Elevators come to the school and spend time with them. They consistently ask when their mentors will be coming to see them and are all smiles when they arrive. They are given a safe haven to talk and unload their worries as well as have someone to listen to them that can provide them with help and, at times, much needed guidance. -Thomas Schloemer, School Counselor

The Education Elevator mentors have made a remarkable impact at Buffalo Elementary. The weekly mentoring and relationship building that takes place between our students and their Elevators fosters trust, encouragement, and support. These connections not only create a more positive attitude toward school but also help each student grow in confidence and success, both academically and personally. -Chastity Miller

My students feel seen by their Elevators. This program provides them with additional quality time and support they may not have received otherwise. Students are excited to make their Elevators a part of our school community. Our Elevators are very active in participating in career days, STEM activities, and weekly visits. I love to see the growth in my students’ confidence and the sense of belonging that our Elevators bring. -McKenzie Henley, School Counselor

Education Elevators far surpasses our expectations year after year. Our students feel more supported and cared for and their families appreciate another caring, consistent adult becoming a role model for their children. Witnessing the relationships our students and Elevators create is such a special part of this experience. -Whitney Canada, Principal

I love seeing the Elevators and mentees enjoying their time together. It is so nice when you get a good match and can really tell that both parties benefit! Elevators give our students a huge boost of confidence. Getting that one-on-one time to learn and play gives them such motivation to be here! -Caitlin Lastoria, School Counselor

The Education Elevators program has impacted our school in so many ways! Elevators provide an outlet for kids to have, that one adult they can confide in and be a great role model to them. The joy on the kids' faces when they see their Elevator is just amazing to see! This is an incredible program!
