K-8 Mentors meet partners for year

November 5, 2011

The K-8 Mentors met the students whom they will be supporting this year. The mentors will now have weekly sessions with their mentees.

“I was a little nervous (to meet my mentees) because I didn’t know if (the kids) would like me or not,” said K-8 mentor Rachel Aker. Aker has been partnered with four students in Carmel’s elementary and middle schools.

Robin Pletcher, K-8 mentoring instructor, said she understands the importance of her mentors-in-training such as Aker.

“It’s important to provide support and strong role models to kids in the community who may be struggling or looking for role models or are going through a transition time,” Pletcher said.
