The Schor Middle School Golden Hawks Mentorship Program had an exciting start to 2026 with a New Year’s Celebration!

The mentors and mentees worked on an activity called Looking Back and Looking Forward, celebrating what they accomplished in 2025 and reflecting on goals they would like to set for 2026.

Some of the mentees goals for 2026 are working on building self-confidence, stepping out of their comfort zone, improving organization, study skills, and grades, spending less time on their phone and more time on their physical fitness.

Afterward they celebrated with a photo booth, hot chocolate, and cookies.  This event was organized by behaviorist Maria Balint and Spanish teacher Jessica Corrales.

The Golden Hawks Mentorship special events, like the New Year Celebration, are organized to the supplement the individual mentor-mentee meetings that occur regularly throughout the school year.
