COMMUNITY SERVICE Reminders and opportunities
Sophomores & families,
I'm happy to let you know that Sophomores are NOW ELIGIBLE to earn hours towards their 25 hr graduation requirement. (Including with activities like Care Packages for Troops)
The History Department-with our core mission of promoting active and responsible citizenship- facilitates this project to help students deepen their appreciation for service while making a positive difference in their community.
See the project Guidelines for details, and see the Modifications--in effect through the pandemic-for expanded options for earning and documenting hours.
To document hours, students use this form which can be found in the history hallway or in the guidelines. Students obtain signatures from a “Site Supervisor:” -to verify the service was performed-and their History “Teacher” (or designated staff if not taking history) to confirm the activity is eligible and to have progress tracked.
I’ll occasionally email new opportunities that will also post in Carver Chronicles. Sophomore history teachers will review the project with 1st semester students by the end of term 2, and with 2nd semester students early in term 3.
Please let me, your student's History teacher, or designated staff know if you have any questions.
Best,
Brian Lamoureux
History Department Chair
