Mentor Program Information for New Families

Dear New MLK Families,

Welcome to King Elementary School!

The King Elementary School Mentor Program has been created to help children ease the anxiety of starting a new school. The program is set up to provide a new King School family with the name of a current King family that has a child the same age.

Interested new families provide the facilitator with personal information to make a family match. The facilitator will contact the new family once a match is made. The idea is that the parents (new & current King families) will be able to set-up a place for the children to meet prior to starting school. This way, the new student walks into King Elementary School knowing at least one person his/her age.

Are you interested in having your children meet someone their age from King School? If yes, contact facilitator Susan Gechter at
susbg@comcast.net or 734-369-8765.

Please include:

* your name, phone number, & e-mail address

* your child's name, gender, grade, & teacher (if known)

Please provide information for each of your children enrolled at King School.

Once the facilitator is provided with your information, a match will be made and you will be contacted with the name(s) of a family (or families) that is willing to be contacted by you.
