MENTORS
From page 1
City Schools Board meet
ing.
“We’ve got 23 of our fin
est student athletes going
out to these two schools
to mentor children,”
Captain said. “I think
this says a lot about our
school system that so
many people are willing
to help these children.”
The mission of the
program, Captain said,
is to assist in the devel
opment of personal and
social skills by provid
ing academic support
and encouragement to
younger students. Men
tors are asked to provide
positive guidance and be
role models by increasing
accountability and devel
oping relationships with
their mentees.
“We think it really
means a lot that these
students have someone
else to be accountable to
other than home,” said
Captain. “We hope to
turn some of these young
men to the good.”
Out of the 23 students
athletes, 14 work with
at-risk students from
TMS with the other nine
mentoring children
from LDE. Captain said
he asked the principals
from both schools to find
young men who had po
tential but needed some
guidance. Mentors spend
a little more than an hour
with their mentees twice
a month, dedicating 35
minutes towards academ
ics and the rest of the
time interacting with the
students.
“I told our guys to devel
op a friendship and a re
lationship with the kids,”
Captain said. “We’re try
ing to get home a simple
message and that’s to
stay out of trouble. You
can’t learn if you’re con
stantly in trouble with
the teacher. We think it’s
important for them to see
guys who are not only
successful in athletics
but to see a different side
of them as weU. Our guys
are role models in every
sense of the word.”
Between the 23 men
tors, they have a cumula
tive grade point average
of 3.16 and are aU plan
ning on attending col
lege. Mentors also fulfill
a community service re
quirement for college ap
plications. Athletes from
every sport except soccer
are participating in the
program.
“We were honored to
be invited to take part in
this program,” said TMS
counselor Stephanie
Newkirk. “This gives our
kids a chance to relate to
other kids closer to their
own age.”
Mentor Steven Stan
ley addressed the school
board with his mentee,
TMS’ Lee Ivey, saying the
experience has been a
positive one and that he
enjoys being in a position
to help someone.
“He works real hard,”
Stevens said of Ivey.
“This program has taught
me the benefits of being
a positive role model in
someone’s life.”

the funds include a new
