Worcester State’s Athlete Mentor Program Sets up Pen-Pal Exchange with May Street Students
Last week (Nov. 14-18) the Worcester State University student-athletes in the Athlete Mentor Program (AMP) spent their lunch hours with the students of the May Street School and had a chance to setup a pen-pal exchange with the elementary school children.
“Our students really look up to Worcester State’s student-athletes,” stated May Street teacher, Mrs. Reilly. “The Worcester State student-athletes are a motivator for our students to do better and they ask every day if the letters are in and get so excited to write.”
Not only is this a chance for the Worcester State student-athletes to meet their pen-pals, but they also assist the students with day-to-day classroom tasks such as helping the students with reading and mathematics.
