Thank you to our wonderful 2024-2025 Peer Listeners! 23 York High School Juniors and Seniors have been peer mentoring students at York Middle School and at Coastal Ridge Elementary School this year. By connecting with their students, either one on one or in the classroom, they have made a great impact and have also gained valuable volunteer experience in the meantime. Here are just a few quotes from our Peer Listeners this year: “I have really loved the connection that I have built over the past two years. Being a peer listener makes me feel special, as I can tell that my mentee always looks forward to seeing me!” “I have enjoyed watching the student I was assigned to open up since the first time I began seeing her. She socially expanded with her peers and became more comfortable around them and me.” “I love when I walk into the classroom of kids - some run up and give me hugs and they all get so excited when I walk in.” “I have loved getting to know the student I work with. She has taught me to slow down and appreciate the small things around me.”

York Schools Volunteer Program Meet Our Latest York Schools Hometown Hero: Nancy Fletcher Nancy is one of our wonderful York Middle School Community Volunteers. We are so appreciative that Nancy chooses to volunteer each week to support our students in math. Our students and teachers enjoy seeing her weekly. Thank you, Nancy! In the words of Nancy: In 2017, after 40 plus years of teaching math at a large NH high school, I decided it was time to retire, to relax and enjoy family time. Acquiring part- time employment at a local golf course seemed like a dream job. Then came the COVID years and my husband and I became the at home teachers for our grandsons, while their parents were considered essential workers. After the boys returned to school, I missed the interaction of helping them with math or science or whatever they had to do. I noticed that I was still helping my grandsons with some math. It dawned on me that if they needed help, then there are other kids that probably did as well. So I decided to volunteer in math at YMS. I was accepted by the most wonderful 5th grade teacher, Mrs Geranis, that first year. She and I helped many of her students with math. Last year I worked with those now 6th grade students, in Ms Hammer’s class and the awesome sixth grade team. This year I have now followed them to 7th grade in Mr. Daniels’ math class and I work with some 8th graders in math as well, in Mrs Gould’s class. YMS is so lucky to have all of these teachers and staff to work with the students. I volunteer, in order to give these teachers an extra hand by answering students' questions in math when too many hands go up or in TLT time. The best part is the acceptance of my help by all of the students who I have come to know. The quote “when one door closes another one opens” is certainly true in my case. By volunteering, I now get to do just what was my favorite part of teaching - helping students.
