August "Mentor of the Month"

This Month's Outstanding Mentor is Arno Jaffe!

Arno mentors an 8th grader at La Cumbre Junior High. They have been together for almost 4 years now. Arno's friendship-based and communication-oriented approach has gone far in helping them build a successful and mutually rewarding relationship. Arno will be receiving lunch for two at In-N-Out. Great job, Arno! Keep up the good work!
