Dover High Students Spread Holiday Cheer

Connecting community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.
We believe that every child needs and deserves the Five Basics: 1. A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult 2. A safe place to learn and grow 3. A health start and healthy future 4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation 5. A chance to give back to peers and community. CSI school-based programs are designed to provide students with at least one of these REAL basics.

Our first batch of student mentors at DHS donated their time to share presents with students at Fairview Elementary. The gifts, donated by Communities In Schools, brought smiles to many faces on December 16th. The Dover High students will each be assigned a mentee whom they will visit each week.

What is National Mentoring Month?

National Mentoring Month is an annual, high-profile campaign to draw attention to the need for more volunteer mentors. Mentors, who can fill various roles, help Americas young people achieve their full potential. National Mentoring Month is held each year in January and aim to raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms and recruit individual mentors. Thank Your Mentor Day will be celebrated on Thursday, January 22nd. On that day, recipients of mentors will reach out to thank or honor those individuals who encouraged and guided them, and had a lasting impact on their lives.

On-Track II
This fall, nine DHS students earned their second college credit by completing On-Track II at Delaware Tech. The purpose of this course is to
enhance student life skills, improve academic skills, and encourage student college awareness. Please congratulate the following students on their accomplishments.

Name: Cheryl Henry Age: 17 Activites: Communities In Schools, 21st Century, poetry, CDYC/YELL Plans:Cheryl plans to attend Goldey-Beacom College in the Fall. She will
study criminal justice and psycology. What is your secret to happiness and/ or success? I set goals for myself and achieve those goals one step at a time. Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years I plan to be in college, pursuing a job in my field as a criminal profiler. Once Cheryl chooses a goal there is no stopping her. After a college tour sponsored by Communities In Schools, she decided that Goldey- Beacom was her college of choice. Cheryl has since been accepted and awarded a schlorship by the institution. I could not have done ith without the support of Ms. Collins and CIS, added Cheryl. Please congratulate Cheryl on a job well done!
