Today's visit was worth a MILLION!! The collaboration between Tabor College, Hillsboro's Elem. and HMS, Mike Moran, Micah Leake is the successful foundation of the current CHUMS program.
The college's onsite director is key to the outstanding orchestration of the two day a week hour program. The onsite administrator, Mike Moran, is also a vital stakeholder as well. The classroom teacher has the opportunity to nominate up to 5 at risk students to be considered as a potential CHUM. Parents are totally on board and fully supportive of the program. Your child is only guaranteed a year at a time in the program. This year's program is mentoring 35 elem. children and 15 6th graders.
Implementation of my project continues to require support from my stakeholders, patience, willingness to handle problems, seeing and hearing the positive outcome for the selected students, classroom teachers, entire school, parents and the community.
I wonder how many children have benefited from this program during the past 17 years? I bet Bill Romaine is smiling down from heaven knowing his trust funds are being used as he had hoped.
Comments, suggestions and questions are always welcomed.
