5 PILLARS OF THE DESOTO JR. EAGLES & EAGLETTES MENTORING PROGRAM.
1. Community Service which is an important aspect of a young person's development, as it provides them with an opportunity to learn empathy and compassion.
2. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) this is an initiative that aims to equip students with the skills necessary to navigate their emotions, work with others, and manage their relationships effectively.
3. Tutoring in Math & Reading utilizing IXL software. The program uses individualized instruction based on a student's performance on a diagnostic assesment that identifies their skill gaps and creates a personalized learning path. The curriculm is aligned to state standards and includes interactive lessons, practice activities, and assessments designed to build mastery of key skills.
4. Youth Sports in addition to providing guidance and mentoring for our youth, our program also serves as a positive outlet for students to channel their energy and build social connections. We believe that youth sports is not just about winning games but also about creating a community where students can learn, grow, and have fun together.
5. Health & Wellness is taught to students that health is the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease, or infirmity. Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.
