In addition to our McCallum PALs, Lee Roadrunners are also welcoming Mentors to our campus!
Research indicates that youth participating in mentoring relationships:
- Experience positive academic returns including better attendance, better attitudes towards school, and an increased likelihood of going on to higher education
- Are less likely to initiate alcohol/drug use while being mentored and less likely to engage in some negative behaviors
- Have more positive social attitudes and relationships
If you are interested in having a mentor for your child or know of someone who would be a positive mentor for our Lee Roadrunners, please contact Jaclyn Sepp at jsepp@austinisd.org or visit Austin Partners in Education at http://www.austinpartners.org/mentor
