Community Service Course

Students at Heatly have been involved in Community Service and Volunteer activities through their involvement in classes, clubs and their families. Beginning in September 2008, Heatly will be offering a Credit-Bearing Course on Community Service/Volunteerism. Information about various Community Service activities will be posted at school, and on the Heatly website. Students/parents who are interested in receiving more information, please contact Anita Brown.

By becoming more involved in what students are personally interested in, students will find themselves becoming stronger community members. Students can participate in a variety of activities which could include: Habitat for Humanity, working in a Soup Kitchen, participating in Food Drives, organizing a Blood Drive, involvement in the Senior Center, becoming a Literacy Volunteer or a tutor for another student in need, to name a few.
