County schools seek mentors Morrow County Schools are seeking people who are interested in becoming a mentor in the Special Friends program. This program is designed to pair children with a positive adult role model. The number of volunteers determines the number of children served. According to Morrow County Behavioral Health, statistics have shown that when children receive as little as a half-hour per week of one-to- one unconditional positive regard from an adult mentor, the results are almost always positive and lasting: negative behaviors are not as pronounced and the child has a greater motivation for learning and getting along with others. This is how the program works: Children are referred to the program by their teacher. These children may be shy. acting out. have learning disabilities or may just be in need of more individual attention. They are then paired with a volunteer. Once a week, for 10 weeks, the volunteer and student will meet for 30-45 minutes of conversation, games and crafts. At the end of the 10-week period, a party is held for the volunteers and their students to celebrate their accomplishments. "It is indeed a small amount out of one's time each week." said a MCBH spokesperson, "and so valuable to the children." These programs are great in concept, they said, but only work if volunteers step forward. Many programs like this have failed due to lack of community involvement. When the program fails it is the children who suffer, they added. Morrow Ccunty is in "desperate" need for adults to have more involvement with their children. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer for this program, should contact Barbara Stefani-Peterson at either 676- 9128 or 422-7555. The Special Friends program is sponsored by both Morrow County School District and Morrow County Behavioral Health. Funding for the program comes through a grant provided by Eastern Oregon Health Services Consortium. at Heppner High School.
