The Mentor Bowl

On January 26th, a group of Barstow Pillars participants enjoyed an afternoon at the bowling alley. We thank Keyser Energy for sponsoring our team this year. We all had a great time bowling and enjoying the hotdogs, popcorn, and ice cream sundaes. The buzz of the mentor affiliated crowd, the door prizes, and the friendship of our own school companions made for a warm event on a cold, cold day.

New mentors have been through a training and will be starting up with their new student matches this month. It is good to see more people get involved in a program that works so well. It seems like very little effort for the volunteers and great rewards when the relationship is established. We all win in this program!

Please speak up if you are a parent who would like your student to join the list of participants or if you know a community member who would be a good mentor.  Mrs. Jaquith can direct you to the folks who can help.
The more, the merrier!
