Taneya Jackson, a senior at Fluvanna County High School, will be working alongside Ms. Bunovich to continue the Governor’s School Guides (GSG) as a part of her BRVGS Senior Capstone project! The GSG program was initially created by Anne Charlotte Robinson and Brandy Sweigart continued the program as a part of their senior projects. We welcome all individuals, whether you’ve participated before or not!
If you are interested in participating in the Governor’s School Guides (GSG) please complete this questionnaire by August 31st to be a part of the program!
Topics GSG will discuss:
The stress that arises from academics and rigorous classes
Understanding Stress
Mental Wellbeing
Self and Time Management
Future Careers
The Goals of GSG:
To create rapport relationships within the BRVGS community, especially between the mentee and mentor
To give students an individual who they can talk to if they ever need advice or guidance
This program is beneficial to 9th and 10th graders as you will be able to connect with older, more experienced BRVGS students. These older BRVGS students will be able to give you a lot of insight on future experiences and opportunities that you may have due to your involvement in BRVGS. You will be able to go to your mentor if you ever need advice or help tackling any problems or if you need a reliable person to talk to.
This is the perfect opportunity for 11th and 12th graders as this is a great leadership role and you will be able to spread your knowledge and insight to the younger BRVGS students, making their high school and BRVGS life easier!
Though we will try to pair a 9th or 10th grader with an 11th or 12th grader, there is a possibility that will not align perfectly.
Your monthly communication will be your “commitment” to the program
If you ever have any questions, concerns, or ideas of discussion topics please feel free to email me, taneya.jackson@brvgs.k12.va.us. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you at our wellness conferences!
