Anna got to spend a Saturday hanging out with her mentors. They went to "The Original Pizza Place" and to Third Street Music, where she got to hear music by her favorite artist, Boston.
Lauren went to Ohio University with her mentors to watch her alma mater play in the sectional basketball tournament.
Anna celebrated her birthday by having a bowling party. Several of her classmates and pioneer pipeline mentors attended the party. Everyone enjoyed spending time together outside of the normal classroom setting and celebrating Anna turning 17.
Some of our mentors were able to go to the Warren High School track meet to help with concessions. They worked alongside our pioneer pipeline participants to serve customers.
Our mentors, as well as Dr. Bauer and Dr. Klein, have been able to attend conferences across the state to talk about the success of the Pioneer Pipeline program. At these conferences, we work to collaborate with other similar programs to improve our own, as well as offer advice to others.
