This week, we have been working on some details that are bringing us even closer to starting up the SMILE Program! First, we realized that there weren't enough high school students yet to mentor at NPE, so we contacted Mr. Barton about his list. He sent us the list of students he had already asked. After going through this list, we realized his list was missing a lot of very qualified names. We asked him if it would be alright if we created another list and contacted all of those students about our program, and he said we could do that. Therefore, we created a new list of students who we have seen and talked to at school who we believed would make good mentors for the elementary students. We chose students who are responsible, reliable, and compassionate. After getting Mr. Barton's approval of these names, we sent an email to the students with our mentor application attached and asked anyone interested to fill it out and send it back to us. We have had many responses so far, and we are still expecting and hoping for more.
We heard from NPE's counselor, and she said there may be up to 15 students interested at NPE, so our goal is to get 15 high school students, so we can reach out to all of those kids. We are so thankful for all the high schoolers who have applied so far, and we can't wait to get the program started after fall break!
