🐊💙💚 Calling all future Gator Mentors! 💚💙🐊
Abner Creek Academy is seeking caring community members to serve as positive role models for students through the Gator Mentor Program.
Mentors can make a meaningful difference by:
📚 Serving as a reading buddy
🥪 Eating lunch with students
🌟 Offering encouragement, support, and a positive presence
All mentors must complete a background check before participating.
A small amount of time can have a big impact in the life of a student. The Gator Mentor Program is a wonderful opportunity to support Abner Creek Academy students and help them feel seen, valued, and encouraged.
💙💚 Become a Gator Mentor and help make a difference!
