          What is a service project? The constitution of the National Junior High Honor Society states that it is a project in which an individual chooses an area of involvement in the line with his or her particular talents and/or interests. By emphasizing a need for service to the community, the individual is provided with an opportunity to discover and develop his or her unique contributions.

          Doing something for other people is a worthwhile experience for everyone. Individual members are response able for completing eight (8) hours of service during the course of the school year. Service projects must meet the following criteria:

1)                        Fulfill a need within the second school or community.

2)                        Have the support the administration and facility

3)                        Be appropriate and educationally defensible, and not in conflict with the activities of other school organizations

4)                        Be well planned, organized, and executed.

 Here are some links to the service project forms:

Once you have chosen a service project, please see Mrs. Jensen for an approval signature. From then on, you need to have appropriate signatures from those adults you are helping. When you have completedyour hours, return the form to Mrs. Jensen.
