SCS Service Learning

We believe as a school the importance of giving back to our community and the world at large. Our Service Learning Project does just that! We take what we teach in the classroom, bring it out to the world, with the purpose of making things better. Our Service Learning Projects encompass a wide variety of outreach activities from supporting local food pantries to pollution clean-up projects.

Kindergarten & 11th Grade: Their project combines existing curricula about the armed services and community helpers with connections to the military and supports veterans in our local area.

1st Grade: Partners with Helping Hands Rescue Mission, a local ministry that provides food, clothing, hygiene items and more for children in the local community.

2nd Grade: The teachers integrate their reading and writing curriculum with servicing a local assisted living facility.

3rd Grade: Works with a nature center to help support community programs and integrates their English, math and science.

4th Grade: Infuses their writing, math and science with a service project to sponsor our church’s food pantry and a larger food pantry ministry in the area.

5th Grade: Integrates math and history by researching percentages of people types and populations, topography, location, climate and human environment interaction. Their goal was to help students develop a Biblical worldview by creating an awareness of missionaries, their work and their needs.

6th Grade: The goal to visit local parks in order to remove invasive species and to plant native species.

7th Grade: Their project is based on their Life Science class content and focused on agriculture through aquaponics and community gardening.

8th Grade: Their project focuses on river and groundwater health.

9th Grade: Their project supports science and math focused on preservation and conservation of the environment through pollution collection.

10th Grade Spanish: They implement their project to connect studies on immigration with service to the homeless community.

12th Grade Senior Seminar: Their Capstone Project is a student-led project. The students will take their prior knowledge of service-learning and their passions/interests and propose a project for the year which is overseen by their teacher/facilitator.
