Community Service Assignment

1. A photo that clearly shows yourself at the event/activity is REQUIRED proof, even for Revere activities. Requirement:  5 hours (no partial credit)
2. Photos (in focus and unaltered) of verification forms + proof must be submitted through your PE teacher’s Community Service Assignment in Schoology.

Community service must be volunteer type work for a reputable non-profit organization (NOT a for-profit business or individual) and beneficial to the community. It can be done in one day or spread through many. Select an activity that you are interested in, and get involved. If you are not sure if a certain activity counts for community service or you are having difficulty finding something, let your PE teacher know early! Examples of accepted and not accepted community service are:

 

ACCEPTABLE	NOT ACCEPTABLE
Serving Food at a Soup Kitchen	Assisting at Businesses including Dance, Martial Arts, Gymnastics Studios
Visiting/Entertaining Seniors at Nursing Home or Senior Citizen Center	Helping Neighbors or  Grandparents
Beach Clean Up w/Non-Profit Organization	Beach Clean Up w/Lifeguard
Assisting Teachers at Revere/Public School during non-class hours only	Trash Clean Up around the Neighborhood
Trash Pick Up w/Teacher at Revere	Babysitting/Paid Tutoring
Feeding/Caring for Animals at a Shelter	Working at Pet Stores/Walking Dogs
Volunteering at church, temple, mosque	Getting Paid to do Work
	Donating Food/Clothing

Verification of Hours:  Be sure to get the verification form filled out and signed by the non-profit organization’s adult supervisor of the activity (NOT a parent/family member/friend). Upload and submit the form + photo proof through your PE teacher’s Community Service Assignment in Schoology.

Grade:  Students who do not complete service hours by the due date will see their grades drop by one letter grade with a U in work habits. For example, a student who was earning an “A” in P.E. but failed to complete service hours would earn a “B”. Community service must be turned in on time for credit.
