PISD 'Power Hour' volunteers needed
The Power Hour volunteer coordinators have a message for possible volunteer mentors for middle school students:You are an awesome human being. You are living an interesting life and have a lot to offer our community. We need your help. We know you are busy and have so many important things to do. But, if you could offer 30 minutes on Friday mornings, then you could make a difference to Princeton middle school students.Do you remember being in middle school?Even if you have many fond memories from the 6th-8th grades, you probably remember how challenging that time was for you. In middle school, kids are starting to focus on their futures, but they are still kids without much control of their lives. They want the acceptance of their peers, but many times their peers are not mature enough to offer the support they need.This is where you come in. When adults from the community can encourage middle school students, these kids can see their own value, and it means so much more than when their teachers or parents support them. They also see the diversity of great adults out in the community, which can help them picture the kind of adult they could be some day.New PISD "Power Hour" programPrinceton ISD is starting a new initiative at Clark and Southard middle schools in the fall and needs volunteers who are 18 years of age or older and can pass a background check through the school volunteer application. Once the application is approved, you will be able to pick a rotation that works for your schedule and then you will arrive at the assigned middle school at 7 a.m. on Fridays in a specific month.Once you arrive, you will be offered a sign with an encouraging phrase on it, and then you will stand at the school entrance, supporting and encouraging students as they arrive until 7:30 a.m. when school starts. It is really quite simple. Show up as you are and encourage some kids before their day really starts.If you are ready to commit or if you have some more questions, contact Wendy Cain, PISD Coordinator of Mental and Physical Wellness, and she will be able to help you get started or answer your questions. Her email address is wcain@princetonisd.net and her phone number is 469-952-5400, ext. 3513. Whether you are a Princeton native or a new resident, you can shape the future by becoming a role model to students.Collin College news
