Impact mentors are responsible for a group of freshmen.  They keep up with the students' grades and their activities.  The students had to fill out an application and be recommended by a teacher or other authority to become a mentor.  Mrs. Hansen then chose the top students from the ones that applied.  Out of the many students that applied, 60 were chosen to become mentors.

The first meeting was held on Wednesday, September 7th.  They discussed how to raise money for the organization and nominated the elective council.
