Service Learning Project 2015
Note: This assignment will count as a Project Grade and it will also be recorded on your High School
Transcript. If students do not complete this project, it will affect their grade GREATLY for the nine
weeks.
DUE DATE: The due date is firm!!! If the paper or any portion of the assignment is a day late, it will
receive half credit. After a day late the grade will be a ZERO! The students have most of the
semester to complete the Service Learning Project, so there will be NO EXTENSIONS!
If you are absent from class on the day the assignment is due, you must turn in the completed
assignment the next day that you are in school.
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to
get better. It’s not!”
