COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS
St. Agnes students are required to perform a specific number of community service hours as part of the school curriculum. We feel that it is important for the students to go into the community to serve. School spirit should prompt them to offer a helping hand for school related functions.
6th grade = 3 hours
7th grade = 5 hours
8th grade = 7 hours
Students may only count one hour of the service hours from these two school-related functions:
1) Work with the PTO projects: serving at dinners, working at the carnival, etc.
2) School volunteer: helping teachers or administration
Student should not have all of their hours in one project. Sixth graders should have at least two different projects, seventh graders should have at least three different projects, and the eighth graders should have four different projects.
Other possible organizations or projects include:
1) Church Activities: nursery, choir, Sunday School aide
2) March of Dimes: walk, organization, hand out fliers
3) Helping Neighbors (without payment): raking leaves, shoveling snow, baby-sitting
4) Community Projects: flood relief, food banks, stream or road cleanup.
5) Other Organizations: Heart Association, Girl Scout, etc
If you are in doubt, check with Mrs. Mollohan.
Return your forms to Mrs. Mollohan at least three days before the end of the grading period to be counted in that nine weeks period.
If a student fails to complete the annual requirement, during the summer
he or she must complete DOUBLE the number of hours normally required.
Report card and transcripts are not issued until hours are completed.
THIS IS A GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
