Safety & Mentoring is teaming up with the Arizona Diamondbacks to make February a perfect attendance month. This form was sent to every principal in Washington Elementary school District. Every child that has perfect attendance through the month of February will get a free ticket to a Diamondbacks game plus a free Arizona diamondbacks baseball cap and will be paraded down on the field prior to gametime. Don’t worry parents We didn’t forget about you, you will receive a greatly reduced ticket with your child’s free ticket. Wow!!! Let’s make February a attendance month to remember.

The seven anchors mentoring star students for most improved grades and attendance. Congratulations guys. Super proud of you.

Student: Mr. Tim, I’m coming to tell you that I’m going to drop out of the mentoring program.

Me: Ok just sit down & fill out the proper paperwork.

Student: Sweet! What do I need to do?

Me: Just write a letter to your future self explaining why you’re choosing to give up on yourself.

One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.” — John C. Maxwell
