Community Service

Students at EDS are required to do Community Service each trimester. In the fall, students served the EDS and local community in a variety of ways. Many students choose to do their community service by working in K-5 classrooms on a regular basis. These students support younger students by running centers and/or reading and working with individual students. Some students stay after school to help with the K-5 Homework Center. Students shared their time by working in the Husky Café during family events such as Family Math Night and Movie Night. Other Community Service activities have included Moreland Woods clean up days, campus beautification, and work with outside service agencies.

On Halloween, all Middle School Students worked to plan and facilitate a Harvest Festival for the K-5 students. They created games and activities that included a Costume Runway complete with runway music and an MC and two Haunted Houses. Other games included Wrap-the-Mummy, Face Painting, Cake Walk, Pelt-the-Pumpkin, a Scavenger Hunt and an Obstacle Course. The Festival was very successful despite the threat of rain and wildly popular with the K-5 crowd!

This trimester, middle school students will participate in a Community Service exploration day to learn more about the opportunities they have to serve their community.

COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIRMENT: All students will be expected to participate in some kind of community service during each school year. This requirement relates to activities students will experience in their advisory classes, in addition to being a requirement in terms of qualifying students for participation in Honor Roll events. To complete this requirement, opportunities will be provided both on and off campus in a variety of service areas.  Information regarding opportunities, timelines and requirements will be sent home early in the school year, in addition to being posted on the Community Service board.
