Bear Down and Mentor Up!
Here's what our mentees and mentors are saying about the program!
"My mentor has constantly opened my eyes to different concepts and ideas that I have integrated into my everyday life. I am so grateful for his endless support and willingness to help me succeed." — Brennen Feder '21 (Mentee)
"My mentor, Pete Seat, is absolutely wonderful! Pete has been extremely helpful, attentive and a welcoming person to work with. I have learned so much from him already and I am so thrilled to be a part of the mentorship program. I tell all my friends about it and I can’t speak highly enough about the program and my mentor. Thank you so much for pairing me up with Pete, it has changed my life!" — Paula Mercado '20 (Mentee)
"I am so proud of my mentees, who put together their resumes and then shared them at our January meeting. They provided each other with feedback and took the chance of putting something out that wasn't a finished product. I would hire anyone of these fine educators." — Debbie Summers, teacher and administrator (Mentor)
