社区服务

低区社区服务的重点是鼓励孩子们养成给予的习惯. Through outreach projects, 学校的活动, and small group conversations, students explore values such as generosity, 尊重, 善良, 承诺, 激情, 和完整性, which naturally complement all community service efforts.

Here are just a few examples of how Lower Division students give back.  

• 二年级: Once a year, second grade students bring in ingredients and gather to 做南瓜面包 (baked by SAGE Dining Services) to donate to the 棋牌游戏平台食品储藏室. 

• 三年级: On Valentine’s Day, third grade students 制作糖果篮 for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House on Davis Islands.

• 四年级: Fourth graders collaborate each year with Children’s Home Network, a nonprofit providing resources to at-risk children and families, as part of their fall service project. 他们 带南瓜进来, pillows, and various toiletries to donate. 

• 五年级: Fifth graders participate in a 冬季服务项目 called 棋牌游戏平台食品储藏室 Warmth and Wellness Drive. On the last day of school before Winter Break, 他们一起工作，组装装满卫生用品的假日袋来捐赠, as well as some handmade holiday ornaments.

中学部的学生花了整整六个上学日做社区服务活动. 中学部社区服务计划的目的是为学生提供了解自己和社区的机会. 它培养了一种社会责任精神，并鼓励学生思考和欣赏终身回馈社会的回报. To see our Middle Division students in action, check out this 相片画廊. 

On their 社区服务 Days:

• 六年级: 学生步行或乘公共汽车前往七个服务点之一：甜水公园, Perrone公园, 棋牌游戏平台环境研究和体验科学中心（布雷路）, Change Makers (an on-campus venue), Sweetwater Organic Community Farm, the 佛罗里达 Learning Garden, and Water Testing (also on campus). Groups rotate through these venues, one venue per service outing. 

• 七年级: Students rotate between seven different venues: Just Elementary School, 喂饱坦帕湾, Dover Exceptional Center, Dickenson Elementary School, 大都会部委, and Arbor Terrace (an assisted-living facility). Seventh graders also recently worked with Tampa Bay Troop Support (see 相片画廊) to sort and package items for soldiers deployed around the world.

• 八年级: 学生们在年初选择一个服务地点，并在每次服务郊游时去那里. The venues are Hudson Manor Assisted Living Facility, 希望儿童之家, Bay Crest Elementary School, Dickenson Elementary School, Dover Exceptional Center, Inspired Living Memory Care Center, and three Hillsborough County Head Start Centers.

中学部的学生还参与棋牌游戏平台环境研究和体验科学中心（简称CERES）的环境服务项目。. In sixth grade, students grow plants and donate them to the 棋牌游戏平台食品储藏室. 

国际旅行: 

• Dominican Republic Service Learning: 每年二月, 35到40名八年级学生和他们的棋牌游戏平台监护人在多米尼加共和国度过了五天, 在雪茄家庭慈善基金会学校进行社区服务. 这所学校位于博瑙附近，为周边村庄的贫困儿童提供教育. Our students interact with these children, learning about their lives during supervised 学校的活动. 除了, Berkeley students spend an afternoon in one of the villages, building and dispensing water filters.

• 巴哈马的书

  每年二月, 15名八年级学生, joined by Upper Division student leaders and teacher chaperones, 去拿骚旅行, 巴哈马群岛, for the 巴哈马的书 service project. The group establishes a library at a Nassau public elementary school, shelving and digitally cataloging approximately 2,500 fiction and nonfiction titles that are collected prior to the trip. 棋牌游戏平台的参与者还向巴哈马学生教授图书馆使用课程. 16岁的校友Elias Tsavoussis作为棋牌游戏平台大学50周年服务学者奖的高年级学生启动了这项服务计划. Elias planted the first library at Nassau’s Columbus Primary School. 许多书都来自棋牌游戏平台家长协会的“分享阅读的爱”年度图书活动. 

高年级的学生策划和设计他们自己的社区服务路径，因为他们寻求在世界上做出积极的改变.

棋牌游戏平台高中的服务由学生服务委员会指导, which is made up of representatives from tenth through twelfth grade. 每个学生都需要填写并提交社区服务时间的文件. 九年级到十一年级的学生每年必须完成至少22小时的社区服务. 12年级的学生每年必须完成至少10小时的社区服务.

高年级的服务经历在学生的高年级结束时达到高潮. 十二年级的学生在校园里接待来自雷德兰兹基督教移民协会（RCMA）的孩子, 参与高年级策划和组织的游戏和活动. This project brings the senior class together, 强化他们对世界做出积极改变的承诺, and provides a memorable experience for RCMA’s kids.
