Quality Truck-mounted LUNCHEON: Mentorship program is going strong in Sisters Continued from page 3 certificate to the Habitat for Humanity Thrift Store to do Christmas shopping. Western Title Escrow, Newport Construction Management and Jan McGowan Nonprofit Consulting are also supporters. Circle of Friends is now mentoring children of all ages throughout the Sisters School District. “The coolest thing is that the youths that have been with us since the beginning are entering middle and high school,” Debbie Newport, fund development director, told The Nugget. “And we are looking to build the high school programing to support those kids.” Merritt introduced the Circle of Friends mentors and talked about new programs. “In the summer we have a reading program for our younger kids and will have some of our older kids com- ing in and mentoring the younger ones,” she said. “We began a robotics program last fall and we have two teens from Redmond Proficiency Academy coming in to facili- tate it.” Robotics integrates all STEM fields in a way no other subject can cover. It brings together mechanical, electrical, electronics, control engineering, computer sci- ence, technology, math and science. “Even the luncheon place- mats were a science experi- ment. The kids put milk and soap to the test and learned about chemical reactions and movements of atomic bond- ing.” Merritt added. Circle of Friends middle school kids now have the support of the Caldera Youth Program. “We introduced our middle school program kids to a part- nership with Caldera,” said Merritt. “We were seeking out something that supported our middle school and our high school kids a little bet- ter than what we were doing. So now our kids are getting extra exposure to the arts on a weekly basis at the middle school.” “And because of the part- nership with Caldera we were able to bring in 16 new high school kids into our mentor- ing program. It’s an incred- ible partnership that the kids flourishing [in].” Near the conclusion of the luncheon Merritt introduced Ivan, who has been mentored since kindergarten, and his mentor, Nick Gill. “We are just going into our fifth year of hanging out together once or twice a week,” Gill said. “We don’t do anything phenomenal, we just have a good time together.” Ivan added “We do fun stuff together like bike-riding and pickleball. And we go swimming in the summer, go to the movies, and have great conversations together.” A Giant Among Realtors CARPET CLEANING Selling or Buying? Call me.
