SOAR Mentoring Program




What is SOAR?
SOAR is the Thorntown Elementary school-based mentoring program. SOAR mentors provide support, opportunities for setting goals, academic assistance, and positive relationships.
Our Mission
The Thorntown Elementary school-based mentoring program, SOAR, is based upon forming a relationship between the child and the mentor focusing on both academic needs and social development of the child.  Our mentors will develop a friendship with their student and within that relationship, assist in developing and achieving goals.
Our Vision
Through SOAR, students will develop assets they need to succeed.  As a result, their peers will be positively impacted which will improve the overall environment at Thorntown Elementary.
Our Goals
Improve academic confidence and performance

Improve relations with peers, teachers, school staff and families
Increase attendance and class participation
Improve homework completion
