Summer Service Fair for Juniors

We strongly encourage upcoming seniors to complete their senior service graduation requirement in the summer between junior and senior year. It is our experience that because of the rigorous academic program, college/university search and application process, strong extra curriculars and leadership roles seniors enjoy, completing this requirement can reduce stress and add a summer experience that is fun and rewarding.  

Service Graduation Requirement:
♣    40 hours of direct service and 10 hours of reflection, journaling, and social analysis (if you are interested journals will be ready before  you leave for summer break)
♣    minimally, 30 of the 40 hours are to be completed at one agency
♣    the core of your service hours (30 hours) should be relationally based so that your service experience can be incorporated into a well thought through journal and an excellent presentation in your senior Theology Social Justice class
♣    coaching can only count for 10 hours unless you are coaching a team with special needs (check with Mrs. Doyle for prior approval if you are unsure)
♣    no “double dipping”
♣    Co-curricular service work can be counted for 10 hours (ex. STA  Youth Camps … work experienced in the Guatemala service trip and 7th Audobahn science camp)
♣    completion of your service hours will determine your placement in the Senior Projects,  which happen in the last two weeks of the school year. A policy of “first come, first serve” will be used in forming teams and selecting agency placements for Senior Projects

Simple Rules for Summer Service:
♣    Summer service hours need to be verified by the agency volunteer supervisor. The documentation needs to be turned in within the first two weeks
♣    At the end of the first week of school a mini-lottery will be held to determine the order of selection for students  who have turned in hours. After this date, as students complete their 40 hours and turn in their verification forms,  their names will be added to this established list which will be used for the selection of teams and agency placements

Nativity of Mary Catholic Church in Bloomington
The Church is holding a summer Vacation Bible School July 18-22 from 8:00 a.m. to noon at the church. The theme is "Hometown Nazareth: Where Jesus was a Kid."  

We are in need of student volunteers to help run this VBS program by being Tribe Leaders. High school students will pair with middle school students to help elementary students come to know Jesus when he was a kid. Students' volunteer hours can be applied to next school year's service hours. This would be a perfect opportunity for students who like working with elementary kids or would like to develop their leadership skills!

Interested students should contact Cinthia Biros, Director of Religious Education and Youth Ministry,
at 952-881-8671 ext. 322 or cinthia.biros@nativitybloomington.com.
