    End of Year Culminating Project 
    At the end of the year, the buddies (mentor and mentee) present a culminating project together. This project (iMovie, PowerPoint, poster, scrapbook, etc.) highlights the amazing things the buddies have done in class together over the course of the year. Both buddies present their project together in a colloquium style presentation evening. This evening is open to families of the mentees and mentors, teachers, administrators, and district personnel.  This is a JOYOUS night of celebration!
