ODY sixth graders were among the students from a dozen central NY schools who attended a CFES Peer Mentor Training at SUNY Oneonta in November.
ODY teacher Mrs. Valenta, accompanied her students who learned about the important characteristics of being a mentor, and participated in team-building activities, group discussions, and hands-on learning, to build the skills necessary to mentor their peers, navigate challenges, and create positive school environments.
In the afternoon, students took a tour of the college campus and were treated to some SUNY Oneonta swag!
