Testimonials

"The Cloud Nine series has been invaluable on our campus. The stories are timely and serve to open a dialogue to get to know my students. We have assigned a lesson per month, in order to see all the students. The program has definitely helped with our school climate. For instance, I have referenced various lessons when students have gotten in trouble. It has been helpful also to review what the students have learned so far, and they have surprised me with what they remember from the stories and how they are applying that knowledge."

Our school district Has been more than pleased with Cloud 9 World. Our students are excited to learn a new character trait for the month. They are engaged in the videos and are able to understand a deeper meaning of each trait. I love that the program offers such amazing ideas on how to implement these traits into the classroom. It does not provide any extra work for the teachers because they are able to use the provided resources given to them through Cloud 9. The teachers love wearing a badge with the character trait on it in order to reinforce to the students everyday effectively. We love Cloud 9 world and are so happy we made this purchase for our students and school.

Thanks."

"Crockett ISD loves the Cloud9 curriculum. We chose this curriculum due to the ease of implementation for our campus counselors and classroom teachers. The lesson plans and literature are perfect for the grade levels they address. The diversity of the program allows other content areas to be explored and the students love practicing the character traits they are taught through the Cloud 9 program. Besides the ease of implementation, we specifically chose Cloud 9 because it is a literacy based character education program. We have seen improved reading skills among our students, as well as interest in reading, all the while learning to be the best person they can be. Thank you Cloud 9."

In Grand Prairie ISD we use Cloud 9 World in all of our Elementary Schools. Our students love the program and our Counselors really appreciate the fact that EVERYTHING is already done for them. The lessons, parent communications, morning announcements, certificates, posters, buttons, stickers, and much more!! We have seen a decrease in discipline referrals since using the program, too. We are ordering the new Mindset books and are excited about incorporating them into our program as well =)"

“Cloud9 has given St. Thomas Episcopal Parish School a common language and a solid platform that helps guide discussions at home, in school, and in chapel. The children relate to the characters, and the books are engaging and appealing. Both parents and teachers are delighted that there is consistent messaging on important social emotional values. The buttons are hugely popular, too!”

Windermere Preparatory School LOVES C9W !  We have been using the program for several years now, and consider it to be an integral part of our curriculum.  Students, teachers, and parents look forward to discovering each monthly trait.  The materials are attractive and inviting, and the students have fun connecting with the animal characters. Teacher resources include parent letters, award certificates, and many other items which allow teachers to share the program with a click of a button. This year we started using the 21st Century Series for our 3rd through 5th grade students.  The new program is wonderful.  The traits are more age appropriate, for these older students.

“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.”

“Cloud 9 has been a wonderful addition to our character education program at P.S. 306. With the help of Cloud 9, my students have learned what it means to have perseverance, respect, integrity, kindness, creativity, and gratitude. The students have been encouraged to have morals and live up to their values. The program has not only promoted positive relationships with peers but it has boosted the students’ self-confidence.”

“Cloud 9 is a fantastic program for my kindergarteners! It has helped them become better friends and students. I noticed how the appreciate each other and celebrate each other’s accomplishments much more.”

“Cloud has provided our school with a great, kid friendly program, that has really helped our teachers to teach character education. The story books provided by the program, have helped to assist teachers by providing creative stories on how each character trait can be demonstrated. Cloud nine is an easy to implement and well organized program. As a teacher, I look forward to using this program for years to come.”

“The Cloud 9 World Character Education Program has greatly impacted our school community.  Each month the students have not only learned skills that will impact their character for years to come, but they remember each trait and can identify when they see these traits being demonstrated by others, using appropriate vocabulary when speaking about it. The Cloud 9 World program also coordinates perfectly with the development of our PBIS program as well. At P.S. 306Q we believe in teaching character in addition to academics to build a well-rounded individual whom thinks and reacts positively to the world around him.  The Cloud 9 World program helps support our vision.”

“We have had the pleasure of implementing the Cloud 9 character education program in our school this year. It has been wonderful to see the excitement in the children every month as we teach them about a new trait. We absolutely love reading the books to them in class and they look forward to taking their copy home to read with their families. The children love the cute animal characters and are using the vocabulary they are learning on a regular basis. They are portraying the traits they are learning about in their actions. We have even heard children complimenting their peers on demonstrating the traits. In our first grade classroom, we overheard a student tell his partner that he was proud of him for persevering through a difficult math problem! The implementation of this wonderful program is apparent in our school through the actions and language of the children as well as the artistic work they produce. We absolutely love the program and cannot wait to teach it again next year.”

“The Cloud 9 Program has had great impact in our classroom environment.  Since the implementation of the program we have noticed that our kindergarten students have been more aware of how their actions affect other people.  They are implementing the character traits in their daily life.  The students have also incorporated the character trait vocabulary in their daily vocabulary.  It has also helped the students develop their socialization skills by teaching them the proper way to treat each other.  As teachers the program has become a valuable tool to support our classroom environment and overall class culture. ”

“Thank you for providing our school community with such a wonderful resource.  It has made a huge impact on our school’s culture.”

“Our goal at P.S. 135Q is to share a commitment in helping our students become responsible, caring and contributing citizens. Implementation of the Cloud 9Character Education  Program is an exciting and innovative program where the children of P.S. 135Qare not only learning the ABC’s of education but more importantly, the ABC’s of life, attitude, behavior and character. It is evident in our classrooms that the children are utilizing the skills learned from the Cloud 9 World program in a variety of social situations which they encounter. As a character education teacher I find the program to be most effective because it is not limited to the students alone, it involves the school community as a whole.”

“As one of the character education teachers I have seen that the children are carrying over what they have learned both inside and outside of the classroom. Their overall behavior , attitude and self expression has improved based on what they have learned. Being  a teacher at P.S. 135 over the past 31 years and having had contact   with students in all grades. I have seen an overall change in the school environment. Parents have also brought to my attention the change in behavior and responsibility level of their children! Thank you Cloud9World"

“The Cloud 9 World program has had such a positive effect on the students of P.S.135Q. They look forward to getting books, viewing the videos and having group discussions. The teachers have also embraced the program by using the vocabulary consistently with the students. I am so proud to help impart this knowledge to our students. Thank you Cloud9World for a fantastic program."

“Our school uses the books and short videos, and our teachers are very happy with the associated lesson plans. The benefit of having our students, as well as our teachers receive a copy of each book is huge. I have to say the books are probably the most used, as teachers, students, parents, and even other members of the family benefit from their use, over and again.   I can’t promote this product, and the associated activities enough. I have said over and again, that I have not to date seen a program generate such interest on the part of teachers and staff, not to mention students and parents. I can without hesitation say we have complete buy-in at our school, and it is truly amazing to see the impact it has had on everyone. Simply put, it’s an awesome program.”

“A different character trait was chosen once a month and discussed daily during social studies. Teachers wore pins emphasizing the character trait and posters with the trait were displayed in each classroom and around the school. Two school-wide activities were carried out each month and teachers held individual classroom activities celebrating the trait. Students gained knowledge and enjoyed talking about character.  Students would often ask “What’s next month’s trait?” or “What trait are we going to celebrate in December?”  Celebrating character became fun, important, and meaningful to our students. In addition, Cloud 9 World’s program includes a class set of books that students were able to take home. At home, parents discussed the traits with their children and were given activities to carry out. It was a wonderful “full circle” approach to learning about character.”
