Sixth Grade Year of Service (SOS)
When students reach sixth grade, they are expected to develop and complete individual service projects that make a real difference in the world. Engaged in a full-year of intensive service activities, students identify needs in the community, develop the components of a successful project and find partners to help achieve their goals.
Some examples of past SOS projects include: Coordinating a blood drive for the Red Cross, maintaining and improving trails for bikers and hikers in the foothills, serving as mentors to refugee families and collecting school supplies and books to be shipped to Africa.
