on Fridays. In Springer, we have the After-School Program on Friday evenings. In Las Vegas, where we were recently provided with a “designated Mentorship classroom,” we will be offering the After-School Program Monday-Thursday, 3:30 – 5:00 P.M. In addition, we are offering a Collision Repair class on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We also offer Children’s Theater for younger students. In Mora, though we have had a few hiccups in getting teachers to run the program, now fully staffed, we will be holding the After-School Program Monday-Thursday from 4:00-5:00 P.M. and on Friday mornings 9 – 12 A.M. With the help of some excellent people, the program is really beginning to flourish. In the summer, students come to the Las Vegas main campus for our Summer Bridge Program which allows them to really get a feel for the kinds of programs we offer. In the past, students have been able to try their hand at welding, truck driving,

airplane flying, helping diagnose Simulation Lab patients in nursing, helping prepare lunch in the culinary arts department, and so much more. The summer program allows student to tour the campus, meet instructors, and tone down any anxiety they might feel about going to college. The goal of the program really comes down to expanding the horizons of the students who enroll and providing them with opportunities to engage with Luna employees in a way that makes Luna familiar, and the idea of pursuing a degree at Luna appealing. It has taken a lot of work and dedication to expand the program to its current level, and we hope to keep going. With the collaboration of so many people who see the value in what the mentorship program does, the sky is the limit for the kinds of opportunities we can extend to our students.
