The College of New Jersey has joined forces with Fisher Middle School to launch a mentoring program between Ewing students and TCNJ basketball players. The goal of the program, Stay In To Win, is to emphasize the importance of education and to model positive leadership skills.

The group meets once a month to discuss topics like leadership qualities, the importance of education, appropriate choices and consequences of poor choices, using hardships as motivation for positive change, handling emotions appropriately, and success.

The Ewing School District would like to thank coach Goldsmith and assistant coach Elberg for taking the time to set up the mentors, ShopRite in Ewing for the snack donations and Al Foderaro, who is the originator of Stay In To Win, for donating the Stay In To Win T-shirts for group members.
