After the 5th grade students have presented their projects to their classmates they are honored, along with their mentors at a special night at the school. Each child sets up their poster boards and stands to answer questions from other parents and visitors.
The program gives the mentors an opportunity to speak of the students strengths and abilities. I loved watching these kids stand confidently listening to their mentors praise them.
For many of them, completing the paper and presenting to their classmates stretched them far outside of their personal comfort zones. But they did it! Each one had every right to be proud of his or her hard work and accomplishments. I know that I was bursting with pride for all of them.
