A program that mirrors Big Brothers Big Sisters has benefited many students in the Luxemburg-Casco School District. The L-C Talls and Smalls mentoring program matches students at Primary and Intermediate schools with high schoolers.
Over 60 students across grades nine through 12 participate in the Talls and Smalls and help kids with challenges at home, with peers, higher anxiety, or other issues. School Counselor Danielle Garceau says the program is amazing and attempts to match the younger students with high schoolers with similar interests. She says they see social skills advancements among the “smalls” participating.
The Talls and Smalls program has grown considerably over the past five years, with approximately ten L-C High School students volunteering their time when it first began.
