    Benefits of a Mentorship
    Program
    Mentor
    • From mentoring younger students, the mentors get personal fulfillment and the
    ability to expand their network across grade levels. Mentors additionally get to
    experience a leadership position firsthand a make a direct impact in their
    community. These mentors can learn to be collaborative communicators through
    working with others, and learn about themselves in the process.

    Mentee
    • By receiving complementary mentorship through a school-issued program, students
    can have a hero tailor their education to their specific situation. Students can also
    foster a close relationship with an older student and gain a role model. Mentors can
    help students develop confidence, and a heightened institutional knowledge.
    Organization
    • Bayless can benefit through a mentorship program by facilitating personal and
    academic growth in students throughout the district. A mentorship program
    additionally can facilitate an inclusive environment throughout the district and
    promote student well-being.
    Parents
    • Bayless parents’ interest lie in the strength of its community. Parents have students
    who are both mentors and mentees. Moreover, parents want the best for the
    school district in which they send their current and potentially future children. They

    Incorporate the Community
    We plan on involving the entire Bayless ecosystem in our Portrait of a Graduate series- from the students' parents and
    family across the globe, to Bayless teachers, alumni, and current elementary, middle and high school students. Pictured
    below are two mock portraits we created for Sasha Priest, a senior attending Washington University in St. Louis. She is
    involved in tutoring on campus, is head of her school's theatre club, and a varsity tennis athlete. She was chosen for the
    B.O.N.D. program because of her excellent grades, as well as her heavy school involvement. The first portrait is from an
    elementary school student that Sasha tutors and presented in front of as part of the B.O.N.D. program. The second portrait is
    one from her grandparents who live in Europe.

    By showcasing a wide range of portraits from the


    Bayless community around the world, the B.O.N.D.
    program will unify and connect members of the
    Bayless community together.

    How does implementation look in Elementary vs
    Middle School?

    Elementary: Middle:

    •Mentorship Program: upperclassmen will read and •Tutoring Programs: upperclassmen will help students
    spend time with young kids to form bonds and act as with reading, writing, math, etc. to form bonds & help
    good role models for the new generation students succeed in school
    •When upperclassmen visit the emphasis will be on •Cool to be Successful: upperclassmen will emphasize
    positive character traits. This will build the vision of the importance of success. Change the narrative that
    who a student should be, what traits they should be it is somehow ‘bad’ to do well in school, and redefine
    working towards. In elementary school foundations being cool as being a good student
    are more important than goals like college or grades. •Paving the Way: upperclassmen will discuss specific
    •Open Communication: the students will discuss their actionable items that middle schoolers can take,
    experience, their diverse backgrounds such as extracurricular activities, study habits, etc.
