Interboro's Freshmen Mentoring program featuring Bob Tryanski

This is the third year of Interboro’s Freshmen Mentoring Program. In light of its success at entrusting students with the responsibility for creating an inclusive school culture, Mr. Andy Costanzo, Interboro High School’s Activity Coordinator and Mr. Bob Tryanski put on a seminar for rising senior who will be Freshmen Mentors next school year.

Out of a list of 76 students who wished to take part in the Freshmen Mentoring program, the 5 mentoyeers employ the Freshmen Mentors, and faculty members have chosen 53 students to act as mentors. The term mentoyeers was created by students 3 years ago as a title for the 4 or 5 students in charge - who use this program as their senior project and in a sense,The Mentoyeers and Freshmen Mentors first met on May 28th for an orientation and then again in August for training. Mentoyeers are required to visit their assigned freshmen homeroom one to two times a week. They are to counsel freshmen about the social, emotional, intellectual and academic realities of high school.

Mr. Tryanski’s motivational speaking and his training session is of value to the new mentors. He provided a four hour training session on May 28th to the soon to be Freshmen Mentors
