Evaluators Needed for Community Projects
Posted May 29, 2015 at 5:40 am by Tim Dustrude
The Community Service-Learning Projects class at Friday Harbor High School is a chance for juniors to explore their passions and strengths by designing a project with a community partner that addresses a need in the community. By designing and completing a meaningful project it is hoped that students will leave a lasting legacy for the school, community and themselves.
The semester is soon coming to an end and students have been working diligently all semester to complete their projects. On Wednesday June 3rd, 2015 (5:30 – 7:00 P.M.), students will be giving presentations demonstrating all that they have accomplished and learned this term. We need community members to come and give valuable feedback to our students about their projects. It will truly be an exciting evening to learn about so many great projects such as: collecting used cellphones for recycling to aid the Jane Goodall Institute, teaching tolerance classes in the middle school, raising awareness of the declining orca population, designing and making a metal salmon sculpture for the Historical Museum, running an island-wide scavenger hunt to raise money for our local animal shelter, helping people on a global scale through the Heifer Foundation ….. just to name a few!
For those of you who have assisted us before, I think you will be impressed with how far we continue to progress as a school in our efforts to make community connections and do real world work. For those of you who have not attended these presentations, it’s an opportunity to see the accomplishments of students in our school. We are proud of the passion students have for their service projects.
We need approximately 15 evaluators.
