MAKING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS WORK THROUGH MENTORING
Dr. Kara Coglianese (center) is joined by members of the district's staff and four communities at today's inaugural meeting of the Community Mentoring Program. This new district-wide initiative is community-based and encourages leaders in our school community to partner with District 201-U schools to offer mentoring and support to our students. "We are excited about the awesome outcomes this effort will yield for our students and appreciate our mentors!" said Dr. Coglianese.
