The Mustang Mentors Program is an opportunity for Manchester Township Middle School (MTMS) students to come together for after-school fun! Students from the small group instructional classes pair up twice a month with MTMS student mentors to make up the Mustang Mentors After School Program.
This week, the Mustang Mentors created the most beautiful floral Valentine’s Day craft to gift to someone they love. Mentors helped guide their mentees on making their projects as they also made their own. This reinforced fine motor skills, color recognition, and problem-solving skills. Students worked together in what was a therapeutic painting session chatting as they crafted their flowers while relaxing music played in their classroom-turned-afternoon art studio. While their projects were drying, students came together for conversation and snacks before heading home for the day. We look forward to seeing pictures of their final projects, soon!
Led by teachers Corinne Stinemire-Tordik and Megan Baumgartner, Mustang Mentors fosters community and inclusion among all MTMS students. Every student benefits from the experience that comes from participating in after-school sports, clubs, and programs. Students learn how to interact and support each other while enjoying fun, educational meet-ups. The positivity and sense of community from the MTMS Mustang Mentor's program spill out into the regular school day daily.
Great job MTMS Mustang Mentors!
