Student service learning projects provide our students with the opportunity to develop an appreciation of the value of community service.

A major component of an effective middle school program is the opportunity to link community service programs to the middle school curriculum. Service learning may take different avenues. Meaningful service can come from establishing a relationship with a group of people with special needs. For example, as part of a project, students might schedule visits to a nursing home, keep a journal of their experiences, and correspond with residents. Service learning projects might also allow students to use classroom skills, (making quilts during family and consumer science class for Ronald McDonald House, testing local stream water quality and planting trees in a local park as part of an extension of the science curriculum), or to explore a future career.
