(WHAS11) Scribner Middle School in New Albany, celebrating its 50th year of educating children in Southern Indiana, is bigger this year and in the classroom, the math and economics lessons are flowing.
Scribner is bigger because it’s one of the schools taking on 5th and 6th graders this year, after schools were closed in Floyd County due to severe budget shortages. One solution for all of those extra students was to encourage them to become Little Brothers or Little Sisters; so Scribner has become a new mentoring site for Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Kentuckiana.
The school now teaches one thousand students and the principal said the mentoring program is a real plus for Scribner. It’s all comes down to making lives better and creating leaders for the future.
If you want to help a young person become a great adult, call Big Brothers Big Sisters in their Louisville office at 1-877-588-2300.
