Lady Panther P.A.C.K. Mentoring Program
The Lady Panther P.A.C.K. Mentoring Program is sponsored by the Guidance Department. Small group meetings are facilitated by Mrs. DiNuzzo, Ms. Symonds, Mrs. Bratton, Mrs. Smoot, and Dr. Ratliff twice a month and extracurricular activities are included as well. The heart of the program is the one-on-one mentoring relationship between the girls and a staff member. We also have plans to partner with Potomac High School and include high school mentors/leaders into the program during the 2009-2010 school year.
Purpose: To lead and encourage the younger generation to achieve knowledge, build positive character, and make personal committments to excellence and integrity.
Goal: To structure opportunities to empower females, improve daily problem solving skills, and gain self-awareness.
