January 13th -15th
Today was the first day back to the Marietta College Campus! The kids and the peer mentors had a great week to start off the second semester of the school year. When the kids arrived at the blue house we were greeted by some new faces. There are a lot of new peer mentors this semester and the kids were excited to get to know them. The kids introduced themselves and they were paired with their new peer mentor. Then everyone was off in different directions. This week most of the time the kids and peer mentors spent quality time getting to know each other and reintroducing some activities around campus. Students went with their peer mentors to the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center where they played basketball and took advantage of the weight room. Some students even were introduced to some new places, like Izzy’s. A couple students even returned for a day to their jobs. By the end of the second day the peer mentors and kids had really gotten to know each other, and it was like they had been friends for a long time. It was a great start to the second semester.
