January is National Mentor Month. In a show of support, Communities In Schools of Kent, along with other local CIS affiliates, have teamed up with the Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team to offer discounted tickets for their game on January 30. The Thunderbirds will be taking on the Everett Silvertips at 5:00 PM, at the ShoWare Center in Kent.
Thunderbirds players Travis Toomey, Michael Salmon, and Luke Lockart serve as mentors with Communities In Schools of Kent in the Kent School District. As mentors, each of these young men is paired up with a student to meet regularly throughout the school year. Communities In Schools mentors work with students to instill the confidence to succeed, to encourage the belief that education creates opportunity, and to set an expectation for success.
