Woodcrest Junior High School Makes a Difference Service-Learning Project

 

At Woodcrest Junior High School, we believe that ALL students can have an impact on their school, in their community, and ultimately their world. In recognition of time and effort in the service of our school, students may earn various school service awards throughout the school year. The qualifications for each award are as follows: 

 

Service Award of Merit 

  • Award for a minimum of five hours of documented school (verified by the principal) 

  • Recipients of this award receive a Certificate of Merit. 

Service Award of Distinction 

  • Award for a minimum of fifteen hours of documented school service (verified by the principal) 

  • Recipients of this award receive a Certificate of Distinction. 

Service Award of Honor 

  • Award for a minimum of thirty hours of documented school service (verified by the principal) 

 

**Note – 100 or more hours the principal gives an additional recognition award** 

 

To receive credit for service hours, a student must do the following: 

  • Record the event on his/her Service Time Recording Chart (available in the office). 

  • Be sure to include the date completed, a description of the event, and the amount of time you spent completing the event. 

  • An adult supervising the service completed must initial by the event to receive credit. 

  • Parent and student signatures are required before submitting the sheet for service credit. 

 

To qualify for a Service Award, completed Service Recording Charts must be returned to the office for the principal’s final approval. 

 

*Service Recording Charts are cumulative, thus more than one may be filled out and turned in to the principal. *
