Elevators have helped impact Mary C. Snow Elementary by giving our students consistency and positive role models. They have improved our students’ attendance and behavior. Elevators have provided our at risk students a reason to want to come to school...so they can see their Elevator! They’ve helped our students form important connections with adults and have helped our students have another adult in their life to show that they care and make them feel special!

Education Elevators is an amazing program! Students light up when I tell them that their Elevator is here.  Student attendance, school performance and confidence have all improved! Students smile more and are more comfortable when talking to adults (this is even with students who really struggled previously with trusting people). One student who used to not make eye contact now stops me in the hall to talk! Students also engage more with their peers and are happier in general. Another student, who last year would just look down at her desk and wasn’t affectionate at all, is now seen skipping down the hallways always saying “Hi Ms. Natalie!” She has given me three hugs! I wish I had more Elevators to match with students! It’s really incredible to see the impact they have on our students! I LOVE this program!
