Imprint Program 2021
|
OWLS Mary Leonard Chapter, Marion County Bar Association and North Salem High School are proud to announce that we are once again sponsoring the Imprint Program! |
|
Imprint is a valuable and rewarding way for lawyers and other professionals to give back to our local youth!
Mentors are matched with a North Salem High School student at a virtual program orientation meeting in February. The pairs read an assigned book and exchange a series of three letters discussing the book during the months of February through May. Everyone comes back together at the end of the program in May to celebrate with a virtual Zoom gathering. Imprint provides students with an opportunity to meet and interact with local lawyers and other professionals.
Interested in volunteering as a mentor this year? Email your interest to Imprint Coordinator, Stephanie Case, at stephaniecaseimprint@gmail.com by January 11, 2021.
Book
This year's book, chosen by the North Salem High School librarian, is Tell Me How it Ends by Valeria Luiselli. This is a short non-fiction book with the theme of immigration.
Mentors, please purchase a copy for yourself and your student. Contact Stephanie for instructions on providing the book to your student.
