Community Service Hours for Health Classes: Due to the restrictions in the community we are changing the way that the community service hours project will be completed. Those students that have completed volunteer hours may still use those to complete the community service project. You may use any volunteer hours that you have accumulated from August 2019 on. You will need 10 hours to receive full credit for this aspect of the project. Those of you that have completed some but not all of the 10 hours will be required to complete the alternate assignment for this portion of the class that is explained below. Setting up for band/choir concerts, sporting events, etc. does not constitute community service.

If you have questions about your hours please email Jess Portillo at jportillo@TempeUnion.org to ensure they will count towards class credit. For those who did not get a chance to begin their community service project or did not complete the full 10 hours in order to receive the credit you will be required to write a 2 page (minimum) persuasive essay on the following prompt:

• Think about volunteer activities that will benefit individuals, families, or the community
• Write a persuasive essay in which you propose an activity and explain its benefits
• Please use at least 3 resources to back up your position
• The essay will be completed in MLA Format, 12 pt font with 1" margins and will be double spaced
• Those that fail to complete either of the community service options will lose 10% of their overall grade. ***THIS IS DUE JUNE 26th ***
