Our EHS ASPIRE Volunteer Kick-Off Event was a Success!
Elmira High School hosted its ASPIRE Volunteer Kick-off event last night in the EHS theater. ASPIRE is a mentoring program that matches trained and supportive adult volunteer mentors with EHS high school students to develop a plan to help them meet their education goals beyond high school. This is a FANTASTIC way for parents to volunteer while at the same time learning the skills and tricks of the trade in regards to acquiring scholarships/grants and learning about the college admission process.
Those in attendance were 2 of our seasoned volunteers, Sandie Smith and Stephanie Hackett, who have been with EHS ASPIRE since its beginning in 2011, Shari Johnson, a volunteer since 2013, and Andrea Slaven, the newest member to our ASIRE team. We covered several items including new happenings with our program for this year, Tips and tools for assisting students through the college admissions process, and toured our ASPIRE office located in the counseling center.
With a strong start, Elmira High School ASPIRE is geared up and ready to go to work with our seniors to make the class of 2015 another successful graduating group!
If you are interested in becoming an ASPIRE volunteer or just want to hear more details about the work our program is doing, please contact Mrs. Haas, EHS School Counselor and ASPIRE Coordinator.
