A new mentoring program has launched at Ruth Fox! Studies have consistently shown that young people who have mentors in their lives are happier, more productive, and have a more positive outlook on their future. An article titled "The Value in Mentoring our Youth" (Jan 2015 Arly Nguyen) shared this positive report:
*59 percent of mentored teenagers earn better grades.
*27 percent of mentored youth are less likely to begin using alcohol.
*52 percent of mentored youth are less likely to skip school.
Youth with mentors have increased likelihood of going to college, better attitudes toward school, increased social and emotional development, and improved self-esteem.
Mentors from our community are committing to mentorship for the entire school year to lend support, encouragement, and cheer on our students as they soar to new heights!
The Archery Club started holding practice on January 11. The club meets each week to develop skills and techniques for mastering archery. Archers meet throughout the winter in the Ruth Fox gym to practice and learn!
