Monday afternoon the high school-aged mentors welcomed their middle school mentees to FHS for some fun that included running out of the football tunnel into Trojan Stadium and taking photos and having fun with their older friend while competing in an online scavenger hunt.
'It's a way to get the kids together and continue building those relationships between the high schoolers and the elementary students,” explained FHS success coordinator Justin Copeland. 'We try to space it out to give the students something to look forward to and we'll still have our end of year party in a few months.”
Fourth grader Clayton Schaeffer, left, and junior Drew Martin both like to play basketball, although Schaeffer claims to be undeniably better at the game they love then Martin. The pair have been together for the last two years.
