A group of Forman students attended the Community Life Summit at Kent School on January 18th, where they connected with peers from other schools and engaged in conversations about student mentorship programs for students with ADHD and other learning differences. They presented on Forman’s Peer Mentor Program, participated in a Food Insecurity Workshop, and joined a Community Life class led by Kent students.

Launched this school year, Forman’s Peer Mentor Program is designed to foster a stronger sense of belonging, support, and connection across grade levels. Returning students are paired with new members of the Forman community, helping everyone feel welcomed and supported.

“Being surrounded by students from various schools fostered an environment where ideas could flourish, and I am eager to bring aspects of the summit back to Forman,” shared Rebecca Birnbaum ’26, noting the value of sharing ideas around student mentorship programs and supporting students with ADHD and other learning differences through community-building.
