Mary Ely, School Counselor

“The Cloud9World Program is BRILLIANT!  The enthusiasm to implement such a program is due to the unique quality, aesthetics, and powerful messages brought forth.  That is still the case; however, witnessing and feeling the immediate positive impact on the students, teachers, and parents along with the endless potential of the   “beyond the book” experiences makes it  exhilarating. As the school counselor, it allows services to be delivered at the highest professional level. Cloud9World is research based, aligns with ASCA Standards, integrates easily with Core Curriculum, instills pro-social behavior and academic achievement, as well as promotes parent involvement. The utilization of the program incorporates well with the RTI:B process; Tier 1: universal-the school environment/culture, Tier 2: adaptable-small groups, Tier 3: targeted-individual. The challenge to set “the stage” for personal, academic, and social opportunities in schools to help children thrive intrinsically to reach their full potential is now framed effortlessly in the Cloud9World Program. Most importantly, the students LOVE IT!  The motivation, anticipation, interest, and eagerness exhibited in the children from the virtue cards, books to take home, lessons, discussions is illuminating which  ignites teacher and parent excitement. The synergistic energy that naturally issues out of the Cloud9World Program sets it apart from any other character education program.”
