For a team with 120 students, I'm honestly curious now what consists of a "small" mentor base for you guys.

I can count our most active mentors on one hand.

We have a group of 25ish adults who help out when they can, or have a niche on the team that doesn't require being there every day... but apart from the school district advisor (whose full-time-job is the team) there are only three of us who work with 1923 every single day.

Edit: I definitely don't recommend this for other teams. It's really hard on us, and we burn out quickly. Please do not take this as advice on how to run another team, it's just how it works for us at the moment.

This year we have 61 exactly but no more than 40 usually show up to every meeting, which is how many we had last year. We have a stricter attendance program that we're ready to fully implement starting January 9th.

In recent years, we have officially had ~20 members with only 5 coming regularly to build season meetings. Thanks to good recruiting and new requirements for membership, we are looking at ~25 members (all but 3 new) with all coming fairly regularly and ~10 coming to most meetings.
