"Hanson and Bridgett LLP has six people from the firm who mentor students at Everett Middle School. They all started in 2009 and they continue mentoring the same student, except for one (because the mentee is no longer here) but I'm re-matching the mentor. They are great!"

"A shout out goes to Doris Jackson from Denman Middle School for building a relationship not only with her mentee, but with her student’s mom too. The three of them went on an outing together to the California Academy of Science over the weekend."

"Harini met with her mentee every single week last year. They had a standard time that they met. They always joined us at our monthly activities and they even went to a basketball game together. Harini also got to know her mentee's parents, has been to her house several times, went on the ropes course and took her mentee shopping. Unfortunately, her mentee moved to a different school, but Harini still keeps in touch with her mentee and wants to see her succeed!!!"

"Ruben started mentoring Kali last year. This year Kali is an 8th grader and Ruben is still mentoring her. Kali has become a leader at our school. Ruben has helped guide and mold her into the nice young lady she has become."

"Bridget has done things on a monthly basis to promote mentor/mentee relationships...pancake breakfast, ice cream social, orientation, scavenger hunt, and make and take sessions.

Manages a Buddy Room 3-4 times/week. Communicates with Buddies on a weekly basis and supports mentors when a problem arises. I could go on and on ..."
