Data show dramatic jumps in student achievement after participating in Live It Learn It academic programs

"Just looking at the data from the pre and post tests is testament to how much they learned in a short period of time with each presentation. The biggest surprise was how [Live It Learn It] bridged the gap between my lowest performing students and the higher achievers."     
                                -Ms. Hubbard, 4th grade teacher, Truesdell EC

"The thing that is most impressive to me is the fact that the students retain the information and refer to it during appropriate times when discussing or reading other materials during the year."
