Dear

As
we near the end of the school year, we reflect on
the great success we have seen with our

the wonderful support of mentors, teachers,
and community members. This issue is
dedicated to the amazing mentors and teachers who
make a difference every day!
Take care, Kris Marshall
P.S. Remember that our Revive Michigan
Breakfast (May 9th) and Golf Classic (June 18th)

Mentor Highlight - Brett
Farrell |
|
Proven Performance... words from a first
year mentor:
Brett Farrell, Sr. Accountant of Shinsho American
Corporation, is wrapping up her first year mentoring
with Winning Futures at Pontiac Central High
School.
Brett enjoys working with the students because
she believes that
"working with young people gives you an opportunity to
forget about the hassles of your daily life and focus on
giving yourself to someone else who can learn from you
and who needs your guidance and support. It is very
refreshing."
She
believes her experiences have been
"very humbling and puts a lot of aspects of my own life
into perspective." Brett continues,
"The girls really want someone to be there for them as a
positive role model and give them the positive
reinforcement that kids should get." |

High |

"Winning Futures has been an integral part of our
high school program. I am especially
impressed with the mentors who have been involved now
and over the years. These
individuals are dedicated and committed with their time,
energy, talents, and resources to developing positive
relationships that have a great influence on our
students," states Dave
Jackowicz.
Butcher Community High teachers Dave Jackowicz
and Pauline Saltsman have both been teaching for over 20
years. "I
enjoy teaching in an alternative program because with
the smaller student population I can make more of a
'connection' with each student. This gives me
the opportunity to get to know each of my students on
more than just an academic level. I can watch them
grow into adults," says
Saltsman.
This dynamic
duo has,
no doubt, aided many students in graduating from high
school. The
synergy from teachers and mentors ensures the Winning
Futures principles are instilled into
students. |
