Community Service Requirements

To all SMCS Students and Parents:

Community service is an important tool to help the students grow as individuals as well as in our

community. Our hope is that your community service hours will balance the emphasis on

academic achievement, with experiences that benefit others who need help, and the student.

Service means contributing to your community to make life better for others, especially the disadvantaged.

Service neither seeks nor accepts payment of any kind. Service can include planting trees, cleaning up the

river or creeks, volunteering at elementary schools, or

building houses for the poor, etc.

Requirements:

· All Community Service assignments, including all service hours, must be completed by the end of the

semester in which the course is taken. Service hours completed before or after semester the course is assigned

will not be considered part of the assigned Community Service course.

· Hours must be logged accurately and neatly on the record sheet. Include a

signature by the supervisor and attach a business card or flyer from the

organization/event. You may also obtain a formal letter thanking you for your

service on letterhead of the organization.

· Logging hours cannot be the only form of documentation for this course.

· You may not earn money or class credit for your hours.

· Hours may be completed at community organizations and/or for an

individual.
