Celebrate
Another Great Year of
FLOW Mentoring!


   

I've learned that people will forget  

what you said, people will forget  

what you did, but people will never forget  

how you made them feel. 

          

Congratulations  
to YOU for making
FLOW Mentoring
the success that it is!  
Thank you ALL for another wonderful year!

WHAT IS FLOW?
WATCH THE LES VIDEO TO FIND OUT!

 
Site Leaders Evelyn Sweeney and Maggie Giles and their FLOW Group at Leonardtown Elementary School produced a wonderful short video about FLOW Mentoring. In it, the mentors and mentees ask and answer questions about what FLOW means, what it involves, and what they like about weekly sessions.
