Higher Ground believes in encouraging our students to use their student voice and speak up! Not only about every day issues and topics but also about how they think we as an After School Provider help them be successful in their every day life!

 

We asked our students the following Question:

“What’s your favorite thing about afterschool program? Do you think being in the program
 makes you a better student?"

 

Here is what they had to say:

  • "My favorite thing in the ASP is that every Wednesday we do science activities! I think the After School Program makes me smarter by staying longer in class. I like Learning and it helps me to get better at my classes like science and math. I will strive to be the best I can be. I learned that it’s about cooperation, self control and responsibility."

    --Gilijah R.
    5th Grader
    Student at Tigers Roar After School Program
    Allendale Elementary School

  • “I like that when we need help the tutors always help us with our homework.  I think that being in the afterschool program  does make me a better student, here we are rewarded, and this makes your parents prouder for what you do. Oh and I like that if your parents have to be at work the afterschool program will take care of you till 6pm.

    --Lauriana S.
    3rd grader 
    Student at Solar Rays Afterschool Program
    New Higland Academy

  • "My favorite part about the Afterschool Program is they do nice things for us. I remember that for Christmas we wrote letters to Santa, and everyone got a present from a secret santa! It was nice!"

    --Arath G.
    2nd Grader
    Student at Tigers Roar Afterschool Program
    Allendale Elementary

  • "My favorite part of the afterschool program is that we get to go outside and play games. But not just any kind of games, organized games that are more fun! I think being in afterschool program makes you a better student because it teaches you life lessons."

    --Aiko A.

  • "My favorite thing in after school program is doing exercises that make my body strong. I think that it makes me a better student so I can be healthy and strong!"

  • “They [the After School Program Staff] give you academic help  and we get to do cheerleading and drama.  I think it makes me a better student because I’m involved in things I like.”

    --Senait A.
    4th Grader
    Student at Eagles Soar After School Program

  • “I like to play outside because you can play sports and be with your friends.  Being in the Afterschool Program makes me a better student, because here, I get help with my homework and lots of practice with my vocabulary words."

    --Brenda F.
