Mentor Tutor Connection

🌸 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗩𝗛𝗦! 🌸

Our recent student wellness activity was a blooming success! Just in time for Mother’s Day, students gathered to craft beautiful, personalized bouquets for the special figures in their lives.

Here are a few reasons why this event truly warmed our hearts:

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗲𝘁: This was our most attended wellness activity of the entire year!

𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 & 𝗙𝘂𝗻: It was incredibly cool to see just how into building the perfect bouquet the students were. They had a blast working on their creations and putting genuine care into every single stem.

This wonderful afternoon wouldn't have been possible without 𝗠𝗧𝗖 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝘂𝗺𝗮𝘀, who generously hosted the event and provided all of the beautiful supplies. A huge thank you to Kathy!

MTC is so excited to announce that 2 new Program Managers supporting our Mentor Program have joined us!

Please welcome 𝐈𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐏é𝐫𝐞𝐳 𝐆ó𝐦𝐞𝐳, a new team member supporting mentors and students at Los Altos High School! With a background in operations and tech program management across Europe and the US, Iris brings incredible experience and a deep commitment to community service. Outside of work, she’s a busy mom who loves nature, family time, and sharing her love for Spanish culture.

We are also so lucky to have 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤 as our Mentor Program Manager at Mountain View High School! Dedicated to fostering social, emotional, and mental wellness, Shannon uses her extensive background as a mental health counselor and program director to support student-mentor matches at MVHS. When she’s not empowering local youth, she’s hiking, hitting the dog park with her golden retriever, or grabbing boba with her daughters.

Shannon & Iris – welcome to the MTC Community!!

"I wish someone told me this sooner..."

Recently, MTC mentor and Board member 𝗝𝗲𝗳𝗳 𝗢𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗺 led an incredible session on 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 for our group mentees! By sharing his own struggles and successes, Jeff did a brilliant job bridging the gap and making "money talk" approachable for our students.

Question for our community: What is one piece of financial advice you wish you’d received when you were a teenager? 💭 Drop it in the comments!

Thank you, Jeff, for an inspiring session. We can't wait for Part 2! 🙌✨
