Peer mentor program taking off at Sehome High School

Around the time math moved from basic numbers to more complex equations, Selena Fanning's parents stopped being able to help with her homework.

If she didn't understand the lesson in class, she was often on her own to figure it out at home. This year, though, the Sehome High School freshman has someone to help her out.

Fanning was paired with Sehome senior Jessica Gamache as part of a peer mentoring program, organized at the school by Communities in Schools Whatcom County.
