Description
This Month we are Pleased to bring you Mentor/Volunteer Aaron Moon and School Counselor Todd Stanzione from Nantucket E.S.
A
B
I'm
also
employed
at
odhh
Navy
and
watch
Apple
Town
Center,
its
ending
game,
Rose
Maryland,
it's
right
across
the
street
from
Nantucket
Elementary,
so
it
works
hand-in-hand
with
me,
lived
in
Bowie
for
the
past,
since
I
was
six
years
old,
so
I've
literally
left
him
Bowie
my
entire
life
and
it's
home
to
me.
So
any
of
the
work
that
I've
been
doing
it
feels
right.
Oh
it's.
C
A
Well,
I'm
glad
to
have
both
of
you
today
we
want
to
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
what's
going
on
at
Nantucket,
there's
really
some
exciting
programs
going
on
there
and
some
exciting
work.
That's
happening
there.
So,
first
of
all,
we
want
to
talk
about
it's
hard
lots
of
times
to
get
volunteers
into
schools
and
we'd
like
to
hear
about
volunteers
and
why
people
volunteer
so
Aaron
tell
us
why
you
volunteered
about
your
volunteer
work.
It.
B
B
They
also
needed
volunteers
for
recess
duty
and
so
I
feel
as
an
obligation
for
me,
because
I've
loved
helping
people
ever
since
I
was
little
whether
it
was
a
student
with
homework
or
my
little
sister
I
felt
it
was
needed,
and
so,
if
I
can
volunteer
my
time
to
we'll
help
someone
who
needs
it.
It's
a
pretty
good
dedication
for
me.
Okay,.
B
B
I've
worked
with
Nantucket
elementary
school
as
well
as
Croft
in
middle
school,
because
the
students
that
I
have
previously
mentored
have
now
graduated
from
elementary
school
and
have
gone
into
the
middle
grade
level,
and
so
I
still
work
with
two
students
at
Crofton
middle
school
two
days
a
week
and
as
well
as
Nantucket
elementary
after
I
visit,
Crompton
middle
as
well
as
during
and
after
classes.
So
it's
whether
helping
them
with
homework
or
having
one-on-one
conversations
with
them
inside
the
school
system
and
as
well
as
outside,
to
make
sure
their
lives
are
going
pretty
good.
B
A
B
A
I
think
that's
a
really
big
important
thing
for
people
to
understand
that
mentoring
is
a
long-term,
sustainable
relationship
that
you
build
with
someone.
It's
not.
Sometimes
people
talk
about
mentoring
programs,
but
they're
talking
about
coming
in
one
time
or
twice
a
year
and
that's
not
really
mentoring.
You
do
that.
Mentoring
really.
Is
that
relationship
building
and
coming
back
and
like
use
that
they're,
depending
on
you,
so
tell
us
Todd
what
you
think
about?
First
of
all
the
mentoring,
and
how
do
you
think
it's
affecting
the
students
at
Nantucket.
C
The
students
respond
really
well
to
Aaron
when
they
work
with
him.
They
get
excited,
they
have
something
to
look
forward
to
throughout
the
week
and
because
he's
so
consistent,
they
are
relying
on
him
and
that
trust
that
he
builds
over
time
is
really
what
achieves
results.
I
would
say-
and
my
principal
will
definitely
say
that
he's
one
of
the
most
consistent
mentors
/
volunteers,
she's
ever
met
and.
A
I
think
that
that
really
is
what
we're
looking
for
in
all
mentors
yeah
the
sometimes
what
people
principal
schools,
whatever
the
organization,
is
sometimes
what
their
hesitancy
starting
programs
like
this
are.
Is
the
person
going
to
come?
Are
they
going
to
be
consistent?
Are
we
going
to
let
the
students
down
it's.
D
A
C
C
One
of
the
pillars
of
the
philosophy
is
to
be
able
to
expose
kids
to
positive
role
models
and
also
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
interact
with
caring
adults,
especially
those
who
need
it
the
most.
And
when
we
adopted
that
philosophy
we
realized.
We
do
have
a
lot
of
resources
and
Crofton.
There's
a
lot
of
businesses
that
are
across
the
street
and
nearby.
And
it
just
so
happened
that
we
stumbled
upon
Erin
and
it
was
just
a
really
exciting
development
for
our
kids
at
Hope
connection,
and
also
just
for
the
students
and.
B
Think
it
gives
them
a
sense
of
reliability
for
people
coming
into
the
school
system,
especially
the
young
men
that
I've
dealt
with
where
you
know
they
might
not
have
that
person.
That's
always
there
for
them.
If
they
can
come
to
this
school
and
they're
having
you
know
day,
because
they
had
a
backward
on
the
test
or
they
forgot
their
lunch.
If
they
see
me
walking
across
the
hall,
I
will
literally
get
high-fives
and
hey.
B
A
B
Well,
it
definitely
connects
because
owed
Navy
is
actually
a
community
partner
with
Nantucket
elementary,
so
with
my
volunteering
with
them,
we're
giving
them
ours
which
can
ultimately
give
them
money
for
grants
that
they
would
need
for
anything,
as
well
as
the
support
of
having
someone
to
help
them.
Oh
Navy
will
dedicate
themselves
into
helping
the
school
as
well
as
mr.
stands,
young
with
backpack
programs
or
adoptive
families
for
the
Christmas
holiday.
For
low-income
families
that
can't
afford
gifts.
B
Our
staff
members
will
go
into
our
pockets
and
buy
gifts
for
them,
whether
gift
cards,
clothes
or
toys
for
the
families
that
cannot
afford
them,
as
well
as
the
Thanksgiving
food
drive.
That
I
think
we
did.
We,
maybe
two
of
my
colleagues
and
I,
have
definitely
boxed
up
lunch,
lunches
and
cans
for
them,
because
these
kids
come
in
with
millions
of
cans
for
families
that
can't
afford
them
kind
of
give
the
teachers
that
relief.
You
know
oh
great,
we
can.
You
know
kind
of
step
aside
for
a
while
and
have
the
volunteers.
B
Do
that
and
I
dedicate
my
time
as
well,
but
so
do
other
volunteers
as
well
with
recess
duty
and
much
monitors
as
well
as
even
I,
think
dismissal
duty
too
just
to
kind
of
help
the
teachers
out,
because
their
job
is
definitely
not
as
approached
or
talked
about
as
often
and
they
really
do
an
amazing
job.
With
that,
that's.
A
E
C
A
B
It
can
definitely
be
my
time
management
as
well
as
the
respect
and
honesty
that
I
give
the
staff
members
at
Nantucket
elementary
with
my
staff
at
Navy,
as
well
as
the
students
at
odhh.
Maybe
I've
done
a
lot
of
coaching
with
register
training
and
hiring
people,
so
it's
definitely
a
people,
skill
that
I've
learned
to
adapt
with,
and
it's
it's
from
that
point
from
what
I've
done
I
can
carry
on
through
a
school
system
through
another
job
through
any
kind
of
interaction
that
I
have
people.
B
A
C
Another
one
of
our
partners
is
Vaughn's
martial
arts
and
they
do
a
bully
Busters
program
connected
with
the
PE
teacher
and
that's
in
the
know,
in
the
fall,
and
basically
it's
an
opportunity
for
kids
to
learn
about
self-confidence
and
assertiveness
and
also
emphasizes
physical
fitness
and
then
mr.
Vong
does
a
lot
of
cool
things
for
the
teachers
on
field
day.
He'll
grill
out
for
them
and
he'll
provide
a
lunch
during
the
January
days
when
there's
some
two-hour
early
dismissals,
so
we
really
enjoy
the
partnership
with
Vaughn's
martial
arts
well
Erin's
a
student
at
Bowie
State.
C
We
also
have
another
student
at
Bowie
State
that
mentors
with
us
and
we've
had
some
Bowie
State
faculty
members
like
the
athletic
director,
the
chief
of
staff
they've
come
and
talked
with
some
of
our
parents
about
being
ready
for
college
and
talking
a
little
bit
about
their
career,
so
that
the
parents
can
start
thinking
long
term
about
career
development
and
readiness,
as
well
as
a
Rundle
high
school
I
believe
as
well.
Yep
a
Rundle
high
school
in
their
signature
program
is
a
huge
partner
for
us
as
well.
Oh
that's.
A
A
B
Been
able
to
establish
a
time
schedule
for
everyone
and
everything
I've
been
doing
so
it's
not
so
crammed
in
so
my
class
schedules
will
actually
benefit
with
the
work
schedule
and
the
mentoring
schedule
so
say:
I
have
classes
only
Monday,
Wednesday
and
Friday.
That
gives
me
time
on
Tuesday
and
Thursday
from
morning
to
their
dismissal
to
be
in
the
school
system
and
volunteer
and
mentor
and
then
push
my
work
days
for
the
weekend.
When
I
don't
have
classes
or
I
don't
have
to
be
in
the
school
and
with
the
extra
time
after
work
or
school.
B
It
does
give
me
actually
time
to
do
any
homework
or
study
for
exams
to
definitely
focus
on
my
studies,
because
education
is
where
I
want
to
end
up.
So
it
wouldn't
be
too
good
to
not
pass
education
if
I
write
I
do
education,
so
I
feel
like
it's
a
big
thing
for
me
to
try
and
learn
time
management.
Now,
when
it's
there's
so
many
different
things
going
on
versus
in
the
future,
when
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
handle
it
well.
A
A
Teachers
are
going
on
to
become
administrators
and
working
another
building,
so
it
gives
you
a
whole
network
of
people
to
work
with,
and
so
that
that's
something
that
I
hope,
as
our
listeners
are
hearing
this,
that
some
of
them
will
think
about
doing
it
instead.
Also,
some
of
our
adults
are
listening,
will
think
wow.
If
he
can
do
all
of
that
and
go
to
school
and
work.
I
should
be
able
to
give
five
hours
a
week
or.
A
D
C
B
B
Jones
hope
talk
for
their
second
one,
and
it
was
an
amazing
experience
because
it
gave
me
the
opportunity
to
basically
go
up
to
the
audience
of
parents
and
teachers
and
talk
about
what
I
love
to
do
and
with
that
it's
given
me
an
approach
to
attend
different
type
of
benefits
that
we've
won
for
groups
or
any
kind
of
volunteer
experience,
and
you
know
recently
won
an
award
actually
for
volunteer
of
the
month,
which
is
actually
surprised
on
my
apart
I
had
no
clue
mr.
Stan's
even
said
I
was
we
thought.
B
A
The
volunteer
program,
so
we
had
no
idea
that
you
were
actually
having
to
come
all
the
way
back
from
that
for
award.
But
but
those
are
things
when
we
see
nominations
like
that.
That
was
an
outstanding
thing
for
us
to
see
somebody
who
was
managing
their
time
and
was
putting
being
able
to
do
as
much
as
you
were
doing.
So.
A
That
is
something
that
we
thought
really
did
rise
to
the
level
of
a
volunteer
of
the
month
and
that
we
like
to
use
examples
like
that,
because
we
do
like
other
people
to
see
that
and
to
think
about
how
they
can
utilize
volunteers
and
how
they
can
partner
with
different
people
and
so
that
the
whole
idea
of
building
a
volunteer
program.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
is
really
a
challenge
for
schools.
It
really
is,
and
we
talk
about
volunteering
and
we
talk
about
mentoring,
and
those
are
two
challenges
that
some
schools
are
very
fortunate.
A
I.
Think
Nantucket
is
one
of
the
schools.
That's
rather
fortunate
to
have
a
lot
of
parents
that
probably
do
come
in
and
volunteer,
but
many
schools
don't
have
that.
So
we're
always
looking
to
be
able
to
give
them
ideas
of
how
to
get
people
in
to
volunteer
and
how
to
let
people
know
that
you
don't
have
to
give
as
long
a
period
of
time
or
maybe
you
could
you
don't
have
to
be
a
parent
at
the
school
right.
F
A
You
can
be
a
college
student,
you
can
be
an
aunt
or
uncle.
You
can
be
just
as
somebody
in
the
neighborhood,
so
we're
always
looking
to
those
things
and
we're
hoping
that
that
people
seeing
this
can
come
up
with
different
ideas
and
know
that
there
are
lots
of
opportunities,
but
still
the
mentoring,
I
liked.
We
were
talking
about
your
background
somewhat,
and
you
came
from
a
background
where
your
father
is
a
community
partner.
You
were
saying
in
the
local
community,
so
you
had
that
as
an
example,
you.
B
Know
and
I
also
had
with
my
father
being
a
community
partner
because
he
does
on
his
own
barber
shop
in
Annapolis.
He
does
backpack
programs
for
students
in
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
He
does
cookouts
with
the
church
that
they
are
involved
with
and
I've
gotten
in
to
know
that
recently,
actually
and
as
well
as
I've,
had
experience
with
my
mom
and,
of
course,
my
uncle
who's,
who
have
given
me
different
types
of
personalities
that
I've
grown
up
with,
and
so
that's
also
given
what
I
have
sorry.
B
A
I
think
that's
important
for
our
parents
to
hear
too
I
mean
when
you
go
in
to
do
things
like
that
or
you're
volunteering,
whether
it's
in
the
school
or
in
a
church
or
you're,
just
taking
your
child
out
and
buying
a
backpack
for
someone
who
doesn't
have
a
backpack
or
helping
stuff
a
backpack
or
whatever.
That
is
that
role
model
that
you're
setting
for
your
child
is
going
to
make
that
impact
on
them
for
when
they're
later,
and
hopefully
that
we're
going
to
have
more
Erin
moves.
You
know
they're.
A
Do
things
like
that,
but
because
seriously,
that
is,
that
is
really
what
all
of
us
want.
We
want
our
children
to
grow
up
and
and
be
good
community
partners.
We
want
them
to
be
good
functioning
adults
and
to
really
be
that
people
that
are
functioning
as
work,
whether
they're
teachers,
whatever
they're
doing
in
their
careers
but
actually
in
their
community
too,
and
so
that
is
if
we,
as
parents,
are
setting
that
role
model.
That
really
does
help
and
sometimes
I
know.
A
I
talked
to
parents
all
the
time
and
lots
of
times,
though
some
of
them
are
struggling
on
how
how
can
I
make
it
all
work?
You
know
I'm
busy
doing
this.
Some
of
them
are
working
two
jobs
to
make
ends
meet
I
mean
you
know.
People
are
facing
just
regular
everyday
struggles,
so
we
try
to
not
put
more
of
a
burden
on
them,
but
just
say
through
regular
activities.
You
can
do
this.
You
don't
have
to
go
out
of
your
way
to
do
it
and
I
think
you're
talking
about
your
family.
B
C
Meeting
yeah,
so
we
were
at
a
school
improvement
team
meeting
and
there
was
some
talk
about
how
to
help
the
students
who
are
getting
offers
for
pearls
and
one
of
the
teachers
actually
chimed
in
and
said.
We
need
more
Aaron,
moons
and
right,
then
I
think
lightning.
A
light
bulb,
went
off
and
we're
like
okay.
We
should
probably
nominate
him
from
the
warrior
because
that's
pretty
powerful
stuff,
but.
A
I
think-
and
that
gives
you
somewhere
to
go
to
thinking.
Okay,
we
need
more
mentors
and
when
we
just
recently
had
you
know
the
Blue
Ribbon
Commission,
that
was
our
one
of
our
superintendents
had
set
up
on
equity
and-
and
one
of
the
big
findings
of
that
commission
was,
there
needs
to
be
more
mentoring,
going
on
and
I
think
that's
something
that
everyone
will
agree
on.
But,
as
you
talk
throughout
the
county,
you
talk
to
nonprofit
school
systems.
How
to
get
mentoring.
D
A
D
A
That's
why
I
really
liked
how
you
talked
about
following
those
students
from
elementary
to
the
middle
school?
They
really
had
that
relationship
with
you.
It's
that
that
good
example
that
you're
setting
with
them,
but
that
trusting
relationship
if
they
have
a
problem
at
home
or
they're,
really
having
a
problem
with
a
teacher
whatever
it
is.
They
feel
comfortable
to
tell
you
that,
and
then
you
know
what
to
do
or
the
you
know
you're
going
to
go
to
the
third
teacher
or
their
principal
or
whatever.
C
Another
really
powerful
story
we
have
with
a
volunteer
is
a
retired
professor
from
the
Naval
Academy.
He
comes
in
once
a
week
on
Fridays
and
he
helps
me
with
a
group
that
I
meet
with
and
so
I.
Let
the
parents
know
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
that
he's
going
to
be
part
of
the
group
and
it's
about
leadership
and
character,
development,
so
I
think
retirees
especially
those
who
maybe
worked
as
professors
or
teachers.
C
A

Then,
if
I
would
also
recommend,
if
you
have
your
eye
on
somebody,
maybe
add
a
friend
or
a
friend
of
a
friend,
it
doesn't
hurt
to
ask
because
they
most
people
are
flattered
by
giving
them
opportunities
and
saying
I,
think
you'd
be
great
at
my
school
the
kids
would
love
you.
You
could
have
such
a
positive
impact.
I
think
you
would
make
them
feel
good,
even
if
they
don't
have
time
in
their
schedule,
so
it
doesn't
hurt
to
ask
and
extend
the
opportunity.
Well.
A
We
found
the
number
one
way
to
get
volunteers.
The
most
successful
thing
is
to
actually
ask
not
the
newsletter.
I
mean
it's
easy.
What
people
want
to
do
is
put
it
in
the
newsletter
we
need.
Volunteers
live,
but
we
don't
get
responses
to
that.
If
you
say
we
need
volunteers
to
help
from
this
time
to
this
time
for
the
spring
they're
doing
that
the
more
specific.
A
The
more
the
more
precise
your
ask
is,
and
if
you
can
do
a
personal
ask
people
really
like
to
make
that
connection.
You
know
if
you
go
to
another
student
and
say:
hey
I,
have
this
great
experience
at
Nantucket
elementary
school?
Let
me
tell
you
about
what
I'm
doing.
Would
you
like
to
come
and
share
with
me
doing
that
they're
way
more
likely
to
do
that
they
got
something
from
the
university
saying.
Would.
B
B
You
need
at
least
you
need
to
find
at
least
three
components
which
they
saw
in
me,
as
well
as
the
other
mentor
Jordan
Odom,
and
that
was
reliability,
respect
and
consistency,
because
if
you
don't
have
one
of
three
or
if
you
don't
have
any
of
the
three
you're
not
going
to
I,
basically
find
that
place
for
that
volunteer.
It
would
just
be
a
one-time
thing
versus
a
long
time
commitment
or
even
if
it's
multiple
times
now,.
A
A
You
might
have
to
put
a
little
energy
out
there
going
out
and
getting
the
person,
but
it's
going
to
pay
off
for
your
students
so
much
in
the
end,
and
it's
going
to
benefit
because
we
know
that
people
with
mentors
our
students
with
mentors
perform
better
academically
they're,
they
have
less
referrals
their
discipline.
Is
you
know
much
less
discipline,
issues
and
they're,
just
happy
your
students
and
the
happier
they
are
the
happier
we
are
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
so
much.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
everything
you're
doing
at
Nantucket
and
ewtodd.

When
a
school
bus
stops
to
load
students
as
a
driver,
this
is
what
you
will
see
at
150
feet.
The
bus
will
activate
hazard
lights
at
a
hundred
feet.
The
bus
driver
will
activate
the
amber
light.
They
will
start
slowing
down
at
ten
feet
before
the
bus
stops.
They
will
turn
on
the
red
bus
light.
Their
stop
sign
will
come
out
and
students
will
begin
to
load
once
all
students
are
on
board
safely.
The
bus
driver
will
turn
off
red
light
and
move
forward
at
this
time.
It
is
safe
for
the
motorists
to
resume
movement.

Hi
I'm
Jodie
Russi
waste.
The
last
time
you
watch
food
for
thought,
make
sure
you
tune
in
to
a
ACPs,
TV
and
watch
food
for
thought.
I
have
so
many
guests
on
the
show.
We
talked
about
partnerships
here
in
Anne,
Arundel
County,
as
well
as
across
the
state.
We
talked
about
breakfast
lunch
even
dinner,
and
our
summer
program,
fruits
and
vegetables
are
always
a
topic.
G

Corporal
gamble
with
an
aura
County
police
in
regards
to
school
safety,
there
are
certain
items
that
are
not
allowed
in
school
weapons.
Anything
that
can
be
construed
as
a
weapon
cannot
be
brought
to
school
things
like
switchblades
knives.
Anything
with
the
sharp
point
finger,
nail
files
guns
of
any
sort
cannot
be
brought
to
school.
Also,
illegal
drugs
prescription
drugs
unless
they
are
issued
by
the
health
room,
cannot
be
brought
to
school
tobacco
products
of
any
sort
alcohol.
Anything
of
that
nature
is
not
something
that
you
can
have
in
school.
