We would like students to think about the importance of health and wellness and the importance of volunteering. As our board president once said: Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer!
In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection needs to be turned into a teacher who can input the hours into Power School. You need to address: What did you do? What did you learn? How was this an example of public service?
Our objective is to provide students with an activity to promote an active lifestyle while giving them the opportunity to observe and analyze procedures of a retail organization.
