Rylie’s mom, Tayler, has also noticed Rylie’s growth through ACES. ”Now, every night she tells me, ‘We can't be late tomorrow! I have to go to ACES!’ Her confidence, drive to do well, and her academic skills have truly excelled, and I know she genuinely enjoys all that ACES has to offer!" 

Site Manager, Marie Regala, who oversees ACES programming at Hiawatha’s Northrop and Collegiate High School campuses, has noticed Jayanna’s self-assurance growing.  “One area of growth we have seen in Jayanna is her confidence in her math abilities. She continues to be brave in making strong guesses when doing her math and asking for support when she needs it. Jayanna works hard every day she is at ACES.”
