Some were crying when they arrived, but the local students have really helped and have been accepting. Some students here would say they'd be their buddy.

Some of them were hesitant about starting in a new school but they appear to be adjusting well. Our students are really helping them in any way they can.

What our students found was that they couldn't take notes fast enough. They like being able to review over and over again. They like not having the pressure of having to get all the notes down in class, and instead they're able to concentrate on the content.

Although the test itself is only in English, sometimes it helps students (who) read in Spanish become more comfortable to understand how the tests operate.

We know that some students don't have these options—either their district does not provide these things (preparatory classes) or they just don't have access to these kinds of things because of the money.

Putting our heads together talking about things we've heard from the students, what they need, what they like. I believe this program is going to be successful.
