Fulton School Mentoring Creates Thanksgiving Greetings

FULTON, NY – Mentees and Mentors in the Fulton School Mentoring program recently designed Thanksgiving cards and placemats for Oswego County Opportunities’ Senior Nutrition Services.

The greetings were included with meal deliveries in the Fulton area.

Seniors visiting the nutrition site were greeted with table placemats designed especially for them.

The project was a great opportunity to show youth the importance of thinking of others during the holiday season.

The Fulton School Mentoring Program matches adult mentors with Fulton youth ages 8-15 and is a collaboration between Oswego County Opportunities, Inc., The Fulton Community Task Force, Catholic Charities of Oswego County and The Fulton School District.
