Community Participation

 

Community Participation Objective:  Provide service to the community and school through volunteering time for beneficial activities and projects.

 

Description:  One of the requirements for graduation from Fertile-Beltrami High School will be to successfully complete sixteen (16) hours of service learning.  These hours may be completed any time during the student’s four-year high school experience.  No more than four (4) hours may be obtained from one source, as determined by school administration.

 

It is suggested that students plan ahead and try to obtain four (4) hours each year, rather than wait to complete this requirement during their senior year.  All students are encouraged to exceed these minimum requirements, and hours completed beyond the requirement will be recorded if turned in.

 

Forms must be used to document each “service” occurrence.  These forms are available at the office of the Dean of Students, high school office, and on the school’s website.  These forms will be the only documentation of “service” that will be accepted.  All forms must be submitted prior to May 15th of the school year in which the “service” was provided; prior year’s activities will not be accepted. It is each student’s responsibility to turn in the form to the Dean of Students. Hours will be documented and then placed in a cumulative file of Community Participation forms.

 

The following are the suggested areas of “community participation”.  Any student who would like consideration for another area to be considered should make a formal written request to the High School Principal prior to experience.

 

1.     School Activity (Only one will count towards required hours)

2.     City, County and State Government Service

3.     Church Related

4.     Hospital, Nursing Home, and Assisted Living Service

5.     Other School Service (Different impact than school activity)

6.     Organization Service [YBA, Wrestling Club, Lion’s Club, American Legion, etc.]

7.     Other, need high school principal verification.
