Did You Know…

It has been reported in the streets that the Mentors Project of Bibb County has been spotted around town looking for a few good students. Word around town is that this group of chosen students makes up what is being called a Student Advisory Board. Could it be? Students on the Board of the Mentors Pro-ject? The Mentors Project has been in existence for over 20 years and this is a first. The Mentors Project new board is made up of 8 students that are middle and high school students. This is such a surprise, but a great one.

Here is a little bit of history on the Mentors Project. The Mentors Project was founded in 1990 by the Education Commit-tee of the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce. The pilot pro-gram began at Southeast High School, for you youngsters that’s Ballard-Hudson Middle School. Encouraging stories of the pro-gram’s protégé and mentor matches caused the program to ex-pand to more than 300 students and mentors in 15 schools. Presenting The Mentors Project Advisory Board

Macon Pops We will miss Sam Dixon who was Macon Pops President last year. Sam will be greatly missed, he is attending Morehouse College in Atlanta Georgia. Never fear of course there is a new Sheriff in town. The new president of Macon Pops Teen Board is Jaylon Williams a senior at Central High School. So we are in good hands with the wonderful and intelligent Jaylon Williams. Congratulations !
