The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, composed of 32 Mines student-athlete leaders, is launching a reading program in the October 2017 in partnership with Mitchell Elementary (4th & 5th grade) and Maple Grove Elementary (6th grade).  This is a great opportunity for Mines students to mentor your students as well as the opportunity for youth community students to work with local college student-athletes in a group-learning and team-building environment. 

All Mines Athletics teams will be involved in this new reading outreach endeavor, led by Sarah Berude (swimming), LaRose Currie (volleyball) and Liz Tomon (women's basketball).  It is recognized that not all student-athletes are going to be able to participate in the reading program on designated dates, due to academic schedule conflicts.  If a student-athlete is not able to make their team assigned date, please work with your team SAAC rep to determine an alternate date to join. 

READING PROGRAM PLAN 

• Mines student-athletes will visit each school once per month, depending on month and athlete availability (please note monthly schedule below);
• Our student-athlete advisory committee members, per sport, will serve as on-site coordinators (contacts will be sent to each school prior to each team/student-athlete visit);
• Mines student-athletes will offer this program for 4th, 5th or 6th grade classes;
• A minimum of 10 Mines student-athletes, from designated sport programs would visit each month, definitely more may participate based on availability;
• Visits will consist of 30 minutes of reading and 30 minutes of physical activity, relative to the sport visiting;

 
READING PROGRAM VISIT TIMES (1-hour visit during any of the following time frames- 30 minutes of reading and 30 minutes of physical activity)

• 10:00am-12:00pm (includes travel and on-site time)
