Middle School Service Learning

6^th Grade - Introduction to Service and Environmental Awareness

Sixth graders focus on their school and local environmental community.  They manage the recycling and lost-and-found program on campus, while learning about stewardship of the environment surrounding our campus. 

7^th Grade - Hunger and Poverty Awareness

Seventh graders explore the causes and implications of hunger and poverty at local, national, and global levels. Students volunteer at local food banks, food pantries, and community gardens, working directly with organizations that provide food support services. 

8^th Grade – Early Literacy

Eighth graders delve into strengthening literacy among our community’s at-risk youth.  By partnering with local Head Start programs, our students read and do activities with pre-school age youth, developing friendships with their young “buddies” and inspiring them to develop a love of reading.  http://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc/hs/about
