Lee'Yah seems happier and smiles more. At the beginning of the school year, she just seemed sad. Lee'Yah has opened up to her Elevator about life, school and what makes her happy! I love this program and have witnessed firsthand the positive impact it has on students. Students "light up" when they see their Elevators. That is living proof that this program is working and well-needed for so many students. — David Hill

I know Aurora's Elevator has made a positive impact because Aurora talks about her all the time and looks forward to her visits. Aurora seems more confident, more engaged in learning. — Holly Shankool
