MIDDLE SCHOOL MENTORING PROGRAM TAKES ROOT
A new ministry began in January 2007 through the Senior Adult Ministries
(SAM). Nitschmann Middle School initiated a pilot mentoring program for
7th grade students who were considered to be “at risk” by their 6th
grade teachers. These students were not performing academically to their
abilities. The hope of the program was that a “mentor friend”
relationship for these students could help in motivating them.
The pilot program results were wonderful. The administrators, teachers,
mentors and students were pleased with the improved report cards and
attitudes. The program will be adjusted and expanded to about 35
students this coming year.
Mentors give 1 ˝ hours per week in a joint mentor-student class period,
with interactive activities under school guidance. If you feel God is
calling you to a one-on-one service opportunity, please call Russ
Grander, 610-691-6064 for more information.
HI-NEIGHBORS — Join us Monday mornings from September through May for warm fellowship and
excellent informational and educational programs given by a variety of
speakers! Coffee hour
is between 9:30-10 a.m. and between programs. Program 1 begins at 10
