Guitar Club Provides Artistic Outlet at Grayson Post-Adjudication

Sherman ISD provides educational services at the Grayson County Post-Adjudication facility, which houses juvenile offenders from across the state, and when Fine Arts Coordinator Kalyn McAlester visited the facility last year to meet staff, she took notice of a lone guitar. What came out of that moment was the creation of Guitar Club, a small group led by McAlester that teaches the power of music to its students.

Become A Mentor and Positively Impact

SISD Students!

Are you looking for a way to make a positive impact on the community and the next generation of citizens?

Sherman ISD is looking for caring and responsible adults who are interested in giving a student one-on-one time throughout the school year, building the student’s self-esteem and desire to succeed. Mentors commit to meet with a student 30 minutes once a week, during school hours and on a school campus. The mentor chooses the campus. Activities are based on each student’s need, and could include helping with homework, talking, playing games and eating lunch together. The SISD Mentoring program is district-wide.

Please complete this form if you are interested in becoming a mentor, as well as the SISD Volunteer Application, which includes a background check. New mentors must complete mentor training on Tuesday, September 12 from noon to 1 p.m. at the SISD Service Center, 2701 Loy Lake Rd., in order to be paired with a student.

For more information, contact Director of Partners in Education Julie Kerr at jkerr@shermanisd.net or 903-891-8733.
