Arlene:

You are so right.  I have notified them about mentoring two students
and also preparing them for a professional work related experience.

We al should support this endeavor to insure it's success.

> Youngstown Early College (YEC) has officially opened its doors in Fedor
> Hall.  This is a bold new model for high school education and Youngstown
> City Schools.  For YEC to succeed we need to take it under our wings and
> nurture it.  Nurturing anything requires that we look out for its
> welfare.  We applaud the good things and we try to prevent it from
> making any potential mistakes.
> 
> Please remember that the students have just turned 14 years of age and
> do not have the maturity and experience of the average freshman college
> student.  They have access to a larger campus and more open facilities
> which can be tempting to explore.  Treat them as if they are your
> children.  Guide them and advise them.
> 
> YEC is looking for mentors for the students.  If you are interested in
> volunteering to help shape the life a young adult, please call Marcia
> Haire-Ellis at 330-480-5876.  Also, she is looking for agencies and
> organizations where the students can do 1-3 hours of service learning on
> Thursdays. If you know of any opportunities for placement, please let
> Marcia know.

> Remeber, it takes a whole community to educate a child!
