Quicken Loans makes the grade mentoring students at Cornerstone School
by W. Kemp
Fall is definitely here, the days have gotten shorter and –the children are back in school. Quicken Loans and Rock Financial has been a part of Cornerstone School’s Partner Mornings (student mentoring program) for about 2 years. We usually have about 6 team members that participate in the mentoring program on a quarterly basis. The children are great and always seem to teach us something new.
To kick off fall I had two Quicken Loans members that were new to program join me for Partner Morning. Maggie was with the first grade class and worked with three wonderful students and Victoria was making difference with the 7th graders, while I was lucky enough to be with a young man that I mentored in first grade and he and his friends allowed me to follow them to second grade. What a blast!!!
The day started off with the first graders singing to us…you can’t help but smile when you see their smiling faces looking back at you. Then the fourth graders recited parts of our constitution, which they are learning to help them understand our election process.
Here is a picture of Maggie with first graders. Maggie found out very quickly that the children she had would be reading to her and not her reading to them. All three of her students were eager to impress her by reading their favorite story to her. Needless to say Maggie will be joining us for the next Partner Morning, she is hooked.
Here is my group; we concentrated on making 12 inch rulers before joining up with others to work on a word search of everything that is needed for school.
Victoria had her hands full with the 7th graders that were full of questions and thought out opinions of school, politics and the future.
What a great way to start the day and an important reminder of the importance of education and the fantastic job our teachers and principals do in educating our children…our future.
Quicken Loans commitment to investing in the future is just one of the reasons why we are one Fortune’s Best Places to Work.
