FHS Peer Mentors Celebrate the Year with Ice Cream Parties
The FHS Peer Mentoring program had 19 seniors serve as peer mentors this school year. Each peer mentor was matched with younger students in grades 3-8. Throughout the year, peer mentors met with their mentees at their school and played games, visited the playground, did art projects, and talked about their interests and hobbies. Peer mentoring is an offshoot of the VIPS mentoring program and has been a great addition to mentoring relationships in Falmouth schools. Peer mentors apply to the program, participate in an interview, and receive training and support throughout the year. The program is run as a 1-credit course, so that peer mentors can fit it into their daily schedule, assuring consistency. |
