What AHS PALS do! |
- Teen Mentoring Initiative, a joint venture with
Big Brothers Big Sisters, began in Abilene in 1997 and has expanded
statewide. Each AHS PAL mentors a selected students at an
elementary or middle school throughout the school year.
|
- GOALS (Getting Others to Achieve Lifetime Success)
1st graders work with PALS to entrench the goal of high school
graduation. GOALS is an effort of the AHS PALS to lessen the drop
out rate in Abilene.
|
- Service projects are team efforts in which awesome
work occurs. PALS select a non-profit organization to fill a
specific or ongoing need. Food, fellowship, and work make
these fun, memorable times for us.
|
- Adopt-an-Angel, a joint venture with the Salvation
Army, has PALS supervising AHS students in providing Christmas for
less fortunate youngsters.
|
- Pennies for Pasta is a fund raising effort PALS
lead to benefit research for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society to help
cure blood cancers.
|
- Outdoor Adventure was funded through a grant from
Texas Parks & Wildlife to enable PALS to mentor elementary students
through camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities.
|
- Personal as well as group growth round out the PALS experience.
The training we receive will serve us well in life after high
school.
