Mentoring
Love and Grow Our Students Through Mentorship
Lexington-Richland School District Five invites you to become a mentor to a student. This is the growing season for our students and we would like for you to be a key element in our student’s growth. We invite you to be a “SANDS” component.
SANDS stands for: Supporting, Advising, Nurturing, D5 Students
Your commitment to becoming a mentor is to contribute at least one hour of your time a week with a student at their school. Mentors play a significant role in establishing a connection with their mentee, providing advice and guidance, lending support, listening and serving. Examples of what mentoring looks like:
-
Reading a book with your mentee
-
Helping with homework
-
Eating lunch with your mentee
-
Being a listening ear and/or having a positive conversation
