Service

Service is seeking out and engaging in meaningful service voluntarily, not simply doing acts of service to fulfill a school, district, or program requirement, or to

collect hours.

Service is generally considered to be those actions undertaken by the student which are done with or on behalf of others without any direct financial or material compensation to the individual performing the service. In considering service, the contributions this candidate has made to school, classmates, and community; as well as the student's attitude toward service can be reviewed.

The student who serves:

• Volunteers and provides dependable and well-organized assistance, is gladly available, and is willing to sacrifice to offer assistance

• Works well with others and is willing to take on difficult or inconspicuous responsibilities

• Cheerfully and enthusiastically renders any requested service to the school

• Is willing to represent the class or school in inter-class and inter-scholastic competition

• Does committee and staff work without complaint

• Participates in some activity outside of school, for example, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, church groups, 4-H, volunteer services for the elderly, poor, or disadvantaged

• Mentors persons in the community or students at other schools

• Shows courtesy by assisting visitors, teachers, and students
