Students in grades 5 through 8 who demonstrate Christian service to others in the broader community can earn a More Award. At 80 hours of service, a gold letter “M” is awarded to the student to be worn on the school sweater or sweatshirt. For each additional 50 hours, the student receives a gold star to be attached to the “M.”
Hours must serve the broader community. Acceptable service activities include The Hager House, St. Vincent de Paul, Ronald McDonald House, Nicholas House, shelters, soup kitchens, animal shelters, nursing/assisted living homes, walks sponsored by a specific charity or cause (e.g., Relay for Life), and reading to hospitalized children. Other activities may be acceptable, but should be presented to the More Award faculty coordinator, prior to completion of the activity for approval. If needed, the faculty coordinator will consult with the administration team to determine if the project meets the required criteria. Projects completed as part of a parish/church youth group or a scout troop may be included in the hours.
Service hours must be completed on the correct form available either in the school office or from the link below. It must be completed by the student and signed by the supervising adult of the activity or a parent if supervising adult is not available. Hours are carried over from one grade to the next. Please send completed forms to the Media Center.
