Goals for Hill School’s 8th grade mentors
Goals for Hill School’s 8th grade mentors
Through the program, we hope to provide opportunities for mentors to learn more about the ethic of service, expand awareness and understanding and appreciation of diversity, and experience the challenges and joys of attending to other’s needs.
The Hill School of Middleburg, Virginia, runs Team Saturday on fifteen Saturdays during the school year. This program is not affiliated with area public schools. It runs from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., usually on alternating Saturdays during the school year and allows peer interaction in small group settings. Lunch and transportation to and from The Hill School are provided.
For our younger students, Team Saturday Junior (grades 2-5), sessions include three main activities and ample free-play time. There are also field trips and special activities throughout the year such as Tae Kwon Do and nature workshops. Students also have the wonderful opportunity to work with the awesome Hill School eighth-grade mentors during the school-year program.
A key feature of the middle-school program, Team Saturday Senior (grades 6-8), is more time to participate in activities and work projects together – this often leads to the development of stronger and lasting connections with their peers and instructors. The students have a greater sense of independence and opportunities to develop their peer-management, leadership, and team-building skills all while enjoying activities with each other and creating projects for themselves and the community.
Team Saturday students who age into High School may continue to participate as teacher’s assistants and earn volunteer hours while gaining valuable experience.
Our core values are respect and kindness. We strive to make each session an experience where everyone feels welcomed, safe, well-cared for, energized, inspired, and valued as an important part of this wonderful community.
