The winners for 2008-2009 are:
Tim
Tim has shown great improvements since being matched with Big Brother Matt. The time spent with Matt is the highlight of Tim's week. Tim has become more confident and is happier in participating in school projects. His new sense of self worth has also translated into Tim making better decisions and even mentoring younger kids in his class.
Jordan
He is described as being someone who had a difficult time academically but since being matched with his Big Brother Jason, has shown great improvements in relationship with peers and teachers. As well, his relationship with Jason has brought out a happier Jordan that is now enjoying school and spending his weekly one hour visit with his Big Brother.
Cassandra
Cassandra has blossomed from the relationship with her Big Sister Julie. She has become a happier and more confident child. Julie has helped create a love for learning. Furthermore, Cassandra has developed a stronger sense of self worth and throughout the year has actively participated in extracurricular activities, something she would not have done without the guidance and support of Big Sister Julie.
Benjamin
From the eyes of his Big Sister, Benjamin has grown leaps and bounds. His behaviour with his classmates as well as his Big Sister has dramatically changed. He has shown a compassion and kindness towards his peers and has developed a heightened sense of self confidence. Big Sister Alexandre believes that Benjamin has greatly benefited from the InSchool Mentoring Program, a program that has helped create a relaxing learning environment.
