Mentorship Lunch

SAGE Club is having a Mentorship Lunch on Friday, December 5th. (This was previously planned for November 20th, but the date has been changed because POs take longer than I thought - sorry if there was any confusion!) Nearly all mentors have the same lunch period as their mentees, so this is a really great opporunity to get to know each other. (If you don't have the same lunch, I have already contacted you, so if you haven't gotten an e-mail from me about mismatched lunch periods, then you're fine.) The lunch will be in the Counseling Office, and there will be free pizza! Mentors should send an e-mail to their mentees to make sure they are coming. If you can come, please send me a quick e-mail at iridescentbubbles@hotmail.com and let me know, so I can make sure we'll have enough pizza for everyone.

Also, I would like to remind all mentors to email your mentees once a week and send a copy to me. If you're not sure what to talk about, here are some examples of really great topics that I've seen mentors discussing with their mentees:
- Community service opporunities (recent/upcoming examples: Festival of Lights, Feed My Starving Children, canned food drive, Relay for Life, Maricopa Book Drive, Angel Tree, DV library, Irownwood library)
- SAT / ACT tips (some mentors include SAT vocab or the SAT Question of the Day with every e-mail)
- Scholarship opportunities (fastweb.com, the school scholarship site, etc.)
- Information about DV clubs and activities
- General tips about school, stress, studying, and time management

Also, mentors should always be avaliable for tutoring their mentees and for answering any questions that their mentees have.

Again, don't forget to send me an e-mail if you plan to attend the mentorship lunch!

I'll see you there,

Lauren Zack
Mentorship Coordinator
