Mentor/Mentee

Learn about Argyle School District’s updated Mentor/ Mentee Program that pairs each student in sixth and
seventh-grade with a high school mentor. The mentors help organize middle school students’ lockers and folders. The mentors also teach study skills and address bullying and alcohol and drug abuse issues with their mentees. Both mentors and mentees receive training from a number of organizations including the local police department and the Riverview Sexual Assault Center. Meet students and staff involved in this important program that has helped lessen bullying in the school and has improved grades and attendance.

Make a Splash in Your Local Watershed

Learn how a journey that a third-grade class made into the complexities of the Rock River Watershed turned into a hands-on adventure in critical thinking. Students began with a walking tour of the village and concluded with a trip to the source of the Johnson Creek. Students collected data and conducted interviews. With the help of the “Give Water a Hand Action Guide,” students chose several service
projects to continue through the summer.

Gallery Night: A Celebration of Students' Achievement

Gallery Night is an opportunity to showcase student work for parents, peers and community members. Hallways are filled with traveling musicians and walls are loaded with student art. Science and social studies projects are also demonstrated and books authored and illustrated by students are displayed. Club members show off photos and posters and give guided tours through the school garden. Dramatic plays, dancing and kite flying are also part of this fun-filled evening.

Opportunities Through Work-Based Learning

A rigorous academic curriculum is critical in education, but it isn’t enough. Many students need a venue to learn employable skills and a trade that will qualify them for steady employment after high school. Furthermore, it has become increasingly important to convince students to continue their education beyond high school. Crossroads Academy, housed in Wautoma High School, has developed a work-based learning program that teaches job skills, offers entry-level training in three highly-demanded trade areas, and connects high school students with postsecondary schools.

environment. The School District’s of Westfield’s Alternative Energies Initiative is doing just that. The
