Service Learning Club Permission Slip
Are you looking to test out your leadership abilities? Do you have good organizational skills? Is working to benefit the community a worthwhile task to you? Then the Service-Learning Club is looking for you!
Who can join?
Any students who want to help organize events that help students tie their knowledge and learning in school to larger projects outside of school. The students in this club will form a nucleus that will plan, organize, and lead a variety of service-learning projects that the school and the students choose to implement.
What will we do?
The students will plan, organize, and execute service-learning projects proposed by the school and other students. They will actively look for community needs and think of ways to apply what they've learned in school to solve the problem. If they club decides to open the service project to other students in the school, they will devise a lesson that will teach all students the skills they need to complete the project and teach it after school.
When and where does the club meet?
The club will meet on Thursdays after school in room 219 until 3:45. See Ms. Spears or Ms. Bley for permission slips.
Why join the service-learning club?
The short answer? You need a total of 75 service-learning hours to graduate. The better answer? Service-learning will give you a chance to apply the knowledge you acquire in school to a real situation. You will learn skills beyond the county's curriculum and will hopefully be instilled with a sense of civic responsibility.
How do I earn my service-learning hours?By organizing a wide variety of service-learning projects for the school and participating in some of our own.

Hoops for Troops!
Who? All of your favorite, and possibly least favorite, teachers!
What?The Social Studies Department has challenged the rest of the faculty at Perry Hall Middle School to a basketball game. This will raise money for one of our own - Mr. Shatzer and his troops who leave for Iraq in January. We will use all profits to pay for phone cards that we will give to the troops so that they can call home and stay in touch with loved ones!
When and where? December 7th from 3-6 in the gym. Tickets are $2.50 and can be bought through social studies or at the door.
Why? To help one of our own, support the troops, and give for a good cause. Why not?
