"DIVE has been a key component to the social needs of our school. DIVE has made character education a "cool" thing for our kids. We have seen the development of students who typically do not like school or want to attend change to ensure they don't miss school on DIVE days. It is the topic of conversation in our gym during morning arrivals, on through lunch and recess. We have students that are opening up with the leaders and making positive relationships with adults which carries into positive relationships with our staff. DIVE has developed student leaders who want to give back and help with our younger kids as well. I appreciate that kids see other positive aspects of our school beyond just academics. The DIVE program is high energy, action packed and engaging for students while helping them improve decision making. There is no work or prep on our end. The DIVE leaders work hard to handle all the set up, organization, dismissal and contact of parents for this program. We are so fortunate to have DIVE as a staple of our school community."
