ACTON ELEMENTARY HOSTS RECEPTION FOR STUDENT MENTORS

May 20, 2009

 

 
Acton Elementary School held a reception to thank a group of student mentors on May 19, 2009.

 

At the beginning of the school year, teacher Anna Roe and counselor Pamela Thompson organized the program as a way to assist students and also to promote involvement by community members.

 

The mentors dedicated at least thirty minutes each week.  They met individually with students to build a trusting, structured relationship to offer support, encouragement, friendship, and a positive role model.  The volunteers also helped students with school work, including reading and math.
