The mission of Rosehill Christian School includes serving others and giving back to the community. Our desire is for each student to use their God-given gifts to serve others. The number 410 is taken from 1Peter 4:10:
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Students are required to perform 25+ hours on Community Service. We like to put the Service in the context of "Doing the Stuff That Jesus Did" ... Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit those who are sick or in prison. Below are some guidelines plus some questions and answers that will help students as they work to accomplish their Service.
-
Service hours should be pre-planned activities such as charity organizations, mission trips and community service volunteer work.
-
Service hours should be limited to actual hours served, not practice, rehearsal, travel and sleeping hours. All service hours are unpaid hours.
- Students should check with their Bible teacher to make sure their hours will count towards fulfillment.
-
Students have from June 1 through December 1 to earn at least the first 10 hours on their projects.
- Hours earned June 1st through November 30 are due 1st school day in December.
- Hours not turned in by the first school day in December will not be credited until the end of the year and students will not be able to exempt final exams for the fall term.
-
Students have from the 2nd school day in December through the first school day in May to earn the other 15 required service hours. These hours are due by the end of the 1st week in May.
- Hours not turned in by the end of the first week in May will not be credited to the students account and they will not be able to exempt final exams for the spring term.
- Students may receive credit by working on support projects at school (no more than 10 hours) or support projects at their church (no more than 5 hours.)
-
Students must get prior approval before beginning their service from a Bible teacher.
- Service Hours are entered twice yearly. Students must have their hours turned in on a "Community Service Verification Form" by the required dates and should keep a copy of this form.
- Students who do not complete their community service hours will have the number of hours not completed subtracted from their final Bible grade at the end of the year.
- NOTE: Students earning an "Honors Diploma" are required to earn 5 extra service hours per year for a total of 30 hours per year.
