Lower School Students Take the Lead on Mentee Give Back Day

Throughout the year kindergarten through fourth grade students have been meeting regularly with their fifth-through-eighth-grade mentors as part of our new Brandeis Mentorship Program. Yesterday was "Mentee Give Back Day," in which the lower school mentees took the lead during their buddy time together. Some classes chose to play educational games with their mentors, others wrote poetry together, and others worked together on school projects (eighth graders worked with their fourth grade buddies on their bridge projects).

"It was great walking around and seeing the different activities and the fun the students had together," says Sharona Israeli-Roth, dean of student life. "I hear beautiful stories from the teachers of what the mentoring program has given their students." MORE PHOTOS
