The Success Program students have moved forward by expanding their peer-support efforts this summer, they are serving as mentors to second and third grade students in the evening program. Through this partnership, older students are helping younger learners build stronger reading skills while participating in a fun, structured after-school routine.
The program began on June 16 and runs during the summer evenings. Each session includes a variety of engaging components, including arts and crafts, dedicated study time focused on reading, snack time, and recreation to encourage social interaction and keep students motivated. By combining learning with hands-on activities and play, the program creates a positive environment where younger students feel supported and confident as they practice literacy skills.
Together, Program Coordinator, Evetta Whitby, Program Leader, Annie Norman, the Success Program students and the younger participants are strengthening reading through consistent practice and encouragement, while also building mentorship relationships that promote responsibility, leadership, and community.
