Breakfast and Lunch Buddies

We all need people in our lives to encourage us and show us they care. Mentors are needed to meet with a student 30 minutes once a week either at breakfast or lunch through the school year. Would you consider pouring into the life of a student at Plain? Contact katiemadding@yahoo.com for more information.
