Each

Wednesday afternoon from early January to late April, the

McIntosh German Club and the cIntosh Chapter of Delta

Epsilon Phi, the National german Honor Society, came

together to mentor a group of approximately 15 fourth and

fifth grade students.

With the

support of Ms. Donna Worcester of the Fayette County

Community School Academic Mentoring Program, the high

school volunteers guided the Kedron Elemntary After

School Program students, using games and small-group

sessions to teach German basics - colors, numbers,

animals, school supplies and simple sentences. After

completing the week's lesson and activities, the students

paired off to talk, often sharing stories about middle

school and high school.

Participating

students were seniors Blaise Kelsch, Robert Nacke, Bryan

Fitzgerald, Jennifer Mitchell, Nicole Dupre, Brian Byrne

and Erin Bartels, juniors Kathleen Powers and Erik

Houston and sophomore Megan Bartels. The German Club and

Honor Society members not graduating this spring plan to

continue the program in the fall.
