Community SERVICE
Upper grade students will be recognized each trimester if they have
completed 24 Acts of Community or Family Service (25 minutes each act or 10 hours total). This is optional and NOT required. Those students who complete 30 hours (10 hours each trimester) by the end of the year will receive additional recognition. Forms verifying community service hours must be completed by the student, and turned in to their teacher, two weeks prior to the end of the trimester. Here is a list of examples:
● Helping 1st graders play at recess
● Tutoring students in lower grade classes
● Tutoring within your own class if asked by a teacher
● Helping in the library
● Gardening, watering, weeding, sweeping, dusting
● Extended trash pickup (not as a consequence)
● Service work created by student council
● Visiting convalescent home residents, helping senior citizens
● Helping neighbors with chores
● Recycling at home
● Reading to younger brothers/sisters/family members
● Translating for parents, teachers, sibling
(If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Parents you can also email me or send a written note with the hours of community service two weeks prior to the end of the trimester with a list of things that your child has done e.g. volunteered at church or any type of community volunteer work.)
