Hello!
The mentoring program will be returning this year at Whitmore Bolles. The Whitmore-Bolles Elementary School Mentoring Program is a program aimed at developing a learning, sharing, and helping relationship between a student and an University of Michigan-Dearborn student volunteer. Mentors will be students from the University of Michigan-Dearborn student group, Mentors for a Brighter Day. The adult mentors serve as positive role models who offer the student guidance and support in growing socially, emotionally, and academically. Mentors will meet with their student mentees on a monthly basis during the designated lunch time in order to have special one on one time to do an activity, work on an academic task, or simply talk and have lunch together.
It is our hope that the returning mentors will be able to still be paired with some of their same students as last year. However, there are no guarantees and new matches may need to be made.
If you would like your child or student to be involved in the mentoring program, please email me directly and I would be happy to pass along a permission slip in order for your child to be involved in the program.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
