Opportunities to Partner From: FCS Partner Connect

Just 30 minutes a week can help a student feel supported, encouraged, and connected.

A mentor is a caring and supportive adult who encourages, guides, and inspires students as they grow and thrive. Mentors build meaningful connections by listening, offering encouragement, and helping young people recognize their strengths and build confidence.

You do not need to be an expert — simply being a consistent, positive presence can make a lasting impact.

The Forsyth County Schools Mentoring Program follows the FCS school calendar. Mentors are asked to meet with their mentee for at least 30 minutes each week throughout the school year.

LMMS has a dedicated Connections class to support the Construction Pathway that students can participate in at EFHS.

Each month, we recognize students and staff members who actively exemplify our HERD (Honesty, Empathy, Respect, & Determination) values. These values guide our work in accomplishing our vision of a school where learners grow with curiosity, character, and confidence. Staff members nominate recipients, who are then recognized in front of their peers and on social media. Recipients receive a certificate recognizing why they were nominated and receive a small token of acknowledgement of exemplifying the HERD values. We are looking for local businesses to support recipients. Students typically receive a card for a small treat from a local business. Teachers typically receive a small gift card or item from a local business. We appreciation your consideration to support this important initiative at LMMS.

LMMS is committed to improving the educational experiences of our students through providing rich professional learning for our teachers and support staff. We have dedicated a space in our school to guide our work. We are seeking local businesses to support our professional learning space through providing drinks, snacks, and treats to our staff as they participate in a variety of professional learning opportunities.

LMMS has dedicated to becoming a PBIS school, a Positive Behavior Incentive School. We are currently in our second year of implementation and we are focusing on reinforcing our HERD values of honesty, empathy, respect, and determination. Recognizing positive behaviors plays a major role in the success of PBIS. We are seeking monetary donations to purchase supplies for recognition, as well as gift cards and retail merchandise for students and staff members.
