INSIDE THIS

ISSUE:

TAKE FLIGHT! TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20th The BBBS 2015 Big Impact Event will be offering a one-of-a-kind training opportunity for business professionals that helps them accomplish the following:

Enhance effective collaboration within the workplace.

Build ownership of plans that are developed.

Gain a better understanding of the “interconnectedness” of various roles within an organization.

Create greater individual and team accountability.

Identify obstacles that hinder plan implementation.

Manage time and “task saturation”.

Adapt to emergent change in the marketplace.

Tap into organizational resources to improve knowledge and experience.

Develop a culture of continuous improvement.

Learn about the importance of mentoring in the workplace and in life.

The four-hour, “Take Flight” workshop on Tuesday, October 20th will be conducted by an elite, executive training organization called Afterburner, Inc. Afterburner speakers and trainers are former jet fighter pilots who have been taught goal setting and implementation of goals through a model called “Flawless Execution”. Their unique perspective helps business professionals truly understand the importance of creating a solid plan and working it while adapting to fast-paced change. Afterburner has trained more than 1.5 million business professionals and have earned a 9.1 (out of 10) rating over 19 years of training. Eighty-five percent of their client list is in the Fortune 50 list. Opportunities for training like this don’t come along very often. Area businesses support one-to-one youth mentoring programs with

their donations and sponsorship support. BBBS wanted to find a way to further connect with area businesses and strengthen their relationship. After meeting with prospective sponsors, BBBS began its search for just the right speakers who could offer business professionals a very unique and effective training session. This is when BBBS connected with Afterburner. If you, or the company you work for, think you could benefit from a training experience with Afterburner, then watch for more information on the BBBS website, www.bbbsmv.org.

As a new school year begins, everyone wants to ensure students start on the right foot. The Parent Teacher Association surveyed teachers and compiled the following list of the top ten things teachers wish parents would do to help students be successful.

1. Establish a daily family routine, including healthy eating and sleeping habits.

2. Build children’s self-esteem by expressing interest in their schoolwork and affirming their worth through positive messages.

3. Communicate openly with the school and contact the school when they are aware of issues concerning their children’s school success.

4. Check on homework regularly and ask questions about their children’s work.

5. Read or talk with their children. Connect everyday experiences to what is being taught in school.

6. Express high but realistic expectations for their child.

7. Use community learning opportunities. Expose their children to the library, museums, the theater, concerts, etc.

8. Encourage children to join clubs, scouts, after-school sports or fine arts, and other community programs. 9. Monitor out-of-school activities and set expectations for appropriate behavior. Model learning at home by playing games, reading newspapers or magazines, and discussing current events. Although this list is directed at parents, mentors also play an important role in achieving these goals. Mentors may not realize the impact the time they spend with their Littles can have on academic success. Many of the suggestions on this list are already being done by our mentors. Check in with your Little’s new teacher and let them know what you and your Little have been doing in your match. Ask if the teacher has any suggestions for experiences they think could benefit your Little. The extra support you offer will make a BIG difference.

CRAFT ACTIVITY—BACK TO SCHOOL PENCIL TOPPERS It’s that time of year again, yep school has started. What better idea than add-ing some fun pencil toppers to spice up your Little’s back to school gear?! You will need: pencils crafting fur (9”-12”) any color glue gun googly eyes

DIRECTIONS: 1-Cut fur into 1.5 inches long and 2 inches wide. 2- Use hot glue gun to glue along the side and bottom on the inside of the fur. 3- Then place your pencil on one side of the fur with the glue and roll it over the fur to cover the top in fur. NOTE: put the pencil just below where the eraser is so that the kids can still use the eraser on the pencil if needed. 4- Using your glue gun, place googly eyes onto fur.

Join us for an adventure-filled afternoon on a scavenger hunt through the city of Davenport.

Each team will use a digital camera to document as many items, landmarks and wacky activities

as possible.

We guarantee it will be FUN! Wrap up the hunt at the BBBS office while we check out our photos on the big screen and pig

out at our “Build Your Own Sundae” ice-cream bar.

(Each match is asked to bring a sundae topping.)

Congratulations Matches!

QUESTION: What should I do if my Little asks to bring a friend to lunch?

Dear Volunteer, As match coaches, we hear this issue come up quite often. There are many Littles in our program who want their friends to tag along, because let’s be honest, having a School-Based Big is pretty awesome and they want to share you with all of their friends. At BBBS, we ask that the time spent with your Little be one-to-one. We understand it isn’t always easy to say “no” to your Little when he or she is asking to bring a friend. You can start by explaining to your mentee that you really would like to spend lunch with just the two of you. If your Little joined the BBBS program seeking more self confidence in peer interactions, don’t axe this idea completely. Talk with them about how every once in a while bringing a friend would be okay. Allowing your Little to bring a friend may be helping to create more social interactions with their peers.

However, for those Littles who have no issues making friends, or being social with others, allowing them to bring friends may take away from the one-to-one relationship you are trying to create with

your Little. If your Little insists, maybe set a special day every couple months that he or she may bring a friend to join you both for lunch. Just remember, this is not what our program is meant for, we strive to create strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships. As always, please do not hesitate to

talk with your match coach about this

issue. As match coaches we are happy

to talk with your Little about this

situation. You don’t have to feel

uncomfortable addressing it on your

own. We are here to help and support your match in any way we can.

THANKS FOR ASKING! SEND US MORE QUESTIONS:

SUMMER OF SERVICE AT THE MACOMB OFFICE BBBS hopes everyone had a wonderful summer! We sure did, and it’s time to share the good news. WEEKEND LUNCHES, ALL SUMMER Something magical happened in Macomb this summer. During the school year the “Backpack Program” provides kids in need with foodstuffs for the weekends. There was no such program in the summers, but the need was identified and the community went into action. Through a coordinated effort, 9 groups in Macomb volunteered to make sack lunches, available to any kid needing them, for each of the 11 weekends of the summer. These groups of community-servants provided sandwiches, fresh fruit (often it was the group itself that paid for the fruits), and snacks, all wrapped neatly in a take-home bag, for a total of 56 kids all summer long. At first the kids were all BBBS, but word spread and a good number of non-BBBS kids signed up. (We’re currently working to bring some or all of those kids into the program, too.) Every Friday when BBBS brought the materials to the workspace, we were met by a crowd of smiling volunteers, excited for the opportunity to help kids in need, proud to be part of such a noble endeavor. A community is a living, breathing organism, made up of people who come together in moments of joy and sadness to support each other. Macomb stepping up to feed the children makes BBBS’ heart swell with pride. Here are the 9 groups that gave of themselves for the greater good:

SCHOOL SUPPLIES Wesley United Methodist Church is full of great people; three times this summer they came together to make weekend sack-lunches for our kids (and some kids not in the program). They enjoyed helping, and we were very glad to have their help. One of those great people was Kim Lampitt, former Director of the

Macomb office, and she asked how Wesley could continue supporting BBBS kids. Well, yesterday some folks from Wesley showed up with a mountain of school supplies for our families most in need, which the Wesley congregation bought and collected, all out of the goodness of their hearts. BBBS could not be any more grateful. SAVE THE DATE The 2015 Bowl for Kids’ Sake event will be on Saturday 7 November, at Digger’s College City Bowl. We are working hard to make this year’s the best BFKS sake Macomb has ever seen. Give us a call to volunteer or to register your team. Be there for Macomb’s only bowling event to benefit local kids!

Devona and her Little Brianna recently

transitioned to the community-based program

just before school got out for summer. They

have done a lot of fun activities together like

going on picnics, watching movies, and cooking.

One of their most recent activities was going

shopping for school supplies. Thanks to Devona’s

workplace they donated $150 for Brianna to

spend so she can get ready to go back to school.

They had fun shopping for supplies together and

getting Brianna’s school year off to a good start!

Thank you to Walcott Trust & Savings Bank for

the support you give to our Littles in the
