Warm hearts

Mentors and their buddies enjoyed a wonderfully spirited afternoon of bowling at the end of January. Some of us were severely challenged as we approached the lane, and were appreciative of the bumpers available for "younger" bowlers. The positive guidance our turns received, whether by bumper or advice, was part of a healthy and active afternoon of sharing.

In the wake of Valentine's Day, mentors are thankful for the friendship of our young partners at school. Our weekly visits are full of conversation, industrious projects, new creative pursuits, and fun. The visits enabled by the Barstow Pillars program are the source of warmth in our hearts. We are convinced that our students feel the same way.

Do you know someone beyond the school community who would like to join in on the fun?
I welcome calls of inquiry at 483-2854. Our hope is to provide a mentor for every student who wants or needs one.
