August 31- September 4th, 2015

School has now been in sessions for 2.5 weeks and so much has happened. First of all,  last yearmentees have become mentors, and many new mentees have joined the YESS institute here at Shaw Heights. Everyone is excited getting to know one anther, We have enjoyed discussing leadership and classroom expectations as well as having fun while doing the Spaghetti tower, playing the disappearing circle, and doing the "getting to know you activity."   Everyone seems very motivated and dedicated to having a successful year.  Students are starting to pair off,  but we have not picked mentee/ mentor pairs. I think the process of pairing will be easier than last year.
