The ACE Program, in conjunction with traditional academic methods, is an invaluable resource for the district for it allows students the opportunity to further their education in an afterschool environment that fosters their social, emotional and academic growth during these unprecedented times.  Here at Diaz-Villarreal/Kika, the teachers and staff have embraced the program and the students have made it known that they really enjoy the programs that ACE Cycle 11 provides for them.  I am proud to be associated with such an outstanding program and school district and speak highly of both when given an opportunity.
