Mentoring Partnership: Future Focus
The Mentoring Partnership hosted its Future Focus: Take Your Mentee to Career Day conference on April 24, 2014.

Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 Radio Club: Spring Poems
Students in Radio Club at Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 wrote and recorded these acrostic poems about spring. First we had a discussion about what makes an acrostic poem (a poem in which the first letter of each line in the text spells out a word or a message – in this case, SPRING). Then, everyone wrote their poems and drew pictures to accompany them!
The ZONE: When I Grow Up and Other Stories
The ZONE radio clubbers wrote and recorded a quick story about what they want to be when they grow up. After recording we used a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) named Logic Pro to make beats along with their story recordings.
