PLEASANTON, CA, April 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Over My Shoulder Foundation, a cross-cultural and cross-generational mentoring organization, founded by CEO Dawn Carroll and Grammy Winner Patti Austin, honor the dedication and commitment of the students of John H. Reagan High School in Houston, Texas. Tasked by teacher David Messina with creating a logo for the OMSF "Menotorology" project , the students rose to the occasion and within days delivered 50 well thought out and professionally created logo designs for Mentorology: the art and science of mentoring
The students of this high school come from very poor situations. A simple homework assignment, guided by a visionary concept conceived by Mr. Messina, turned into a motivational challenge that inspired hope and the possibilities of a bright future. This project embodied every aspect of the mentoring credo of the Over My Shoulder Foundation. "I credit the work of these students for re-energizing my perspective and passion for teaching," said David Messina, teacher at John H. Reagan High School. "These kids have taught me that, when properly engaged, every person can elevate themselves above the hopelessness that all too often engulfs us."
Sadly, the Houston community will be losing the popular teacher at the end of the school year. The Over My Shoulder Foundation is asking the Houston Community to embrace and celebrate the Mentorology project in a festive and congratulatory way. "David's caliber and commitment are directly responsible for rousing these students to reach for the stars," said Dawn Carroll, CEO of the Over My Shoulder Foundation. "It's a shame that the school will be losing him next year. In association with the Houston community, I'm hoping that we can come up with a fitting way to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Dave and his students."
