Mentor 2.0 Program - Millcreek's Promise Program! 

MENTOR2.0

This mentorship opportunity will work with high school-aged students matched with a personal mentor to help them on their journey into adulthood. Mentors must have a college degree or equivalent professional or military experience. (Mentor2.0 opportunities available only in Salt Lake & Weber County).

What it takes to be a mentor
· Commit to helping a high school student prepare for life after high school and be willing to be a positive and supportive person in their life.
· Connect online with your mentee once a week through a partner website called iMentor.
· Come in person once a month to the high school for a structured event at our partner schools to spend time with your mentee and help them practice the soft skills they have learned in class. Dinners are provided! These events are in the evenings.
· Commit to working with your student for a minimum of 12 months.

How will you succeed?
· Staff Support – Each mentor is assigned their own personal “Match Support Specialist.”
· Technology Platform – Through the iMentor platform, we provide the curriculum and guided get-to-know-you questions for you and our Mentor.20 students.
· Mentor Community – At our monthly events, you can meet and interact with other mentors

William Penn Elementary School is Looking for Help!

Our school year at William Penn Elementary is underway and going smoothly. As a previous school supporter/local business, we want to provide you with the opportunity to help provide an amazing year for our students. Our school is experiencing a major transition due to a school merge between William Penn Elementary and Millcreek Elementary. As a result, the school population increased by about 20% and our current enrollment is 670 students! We have a faculty of 40 and about 20 paraprofessionals for a total of 60 staff members; thus making school sponsorships even more vital this year. Dr. Nichole Higgins is our principal, our PTA President is Sidsie Drysdale, and I, April Flores, serve as the PTA president elect. 

One of our major events is our Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, where our students will learn about Ruby Bridges and how to be welcoming and kind to everyone. If you’d like to help with this event, we’d appreciate the support. You’re also welcome to help with other smaller events such as Wonderful Wednesdays in which we provide some type of treat, lunch, breakfast, flowers, drinks or snacks to our staff once a month. Attached below is our full sponsorship letter and details explaining our events and how your donation makes a difference. There are ample opportunities to support our school and we are appreciative of any size monetary donation, food donation, donation of products or services, and the donation of volunteered time. Each donation makes a difference!

• GOLD LEVEL - $500.00+
• • We will prominently display a banner with your company’s image or logo outside of our school along Siggard Drive. 

• Recognition in the William Penn Pennline Monthly Newsletter.
