Mentors and mentees to receive "Shared Experiences Kits"
Falmouth VIPS will be distributing Shared Experiences Kits to its mentor-mentee matches as a way to share an activity even if they aren't able to meet in person. Thanks to a grant from Martha's Vineyard Savings Bank, kits include all supplies needed for the activity and provide an opportunity for mentors and mentees to share an activity and share what they learned. Kindness Rocks, Game Night and Backyard Birds were the chosen kit themes. |

FHS College Mentoring Program Graduates 17 Students!
When FHS Class of 2021 celebrates its graduation on June 5th, VIPS College Mentors will share in the joy, as 17 students from this year's FHS College Mentoring Program receive their diplomas and get ready for college. For nearly the entire year, mentors and seniors met virtually on zoom and FaceTime, and kept on top of deadlines via text and phone calls. Most participants will be first-generation college students, and their hard work has earned them acceptances at numerous colleges and universities in New England, Delaware, Florida, Arizona, and Rhode Island. Congratulations! |
