Mentorship plays a crucial role in educational environments, as demonstrated by the older students at North Side Elementary who took the initiative to guide the younger students through the school's basic procedures this afternoon. This procedure not only helps the new students acclimate to their surroundings but also fosters a sense of community and belonging. They showed the younger students how to properly wash their hands at the restroom, how to line up and act in the hallway, where to line up for their bus, and more.
