Re: How many mentors?
We have been running a 30 student team with one mentor. I've had a little help from parents in getting food to meetings and a few teachers that helped with trip supervision but none of them were involved with the student projects. It's definitely possible and like Don said you have to make sure you have students with a lot of the skills needed to handle build season.
This year we are bringing on two new teachers as mentors who have both been running middle school teams for the past few years. It's going to be an interesting transition for the team but it's coming at a good time since we just graduated nearly half our team last year.
