Que Pasa?
Sponsored by the Virginia Hispanic Chambers of Commerce, the Que Pasa Festival provided an opportunity for exposure to the multiple dimensions of the Hispanic culture in Virginia. Highlights included watching the group attempt Zumba - somebody was a star at that and watching the Brazilian marital art disguised as dance. Spicy food, vendors, music, dance and the passport to education pavilion featuring information from many schools or academic supports. Students spoke to representatives from Mary Baldwin College, and every where they were positively received. Students were accompanied by JMU mentors. A special thanks for our parent who also attended. It was great to see your support.

Learning and Preparing
9/30/11
Students participated in college visits to Eastern Mennonite University and Bridgewater College. Both schools' admission personnel were informative and helpful in helping students to consider private colleges as options for applying. All mentees are encouraged speak with their mentor's about the college process - it is never too early to think about it. College trips target 11th & 12th graders. When space is available 10th graders are welcome to participate.
Special thanks to JMU mentors Grace & Jamee for escorting and providing college knowledge expertise!
