PTSA’s Wolverine Guard Award for Community Service
Application Form: |
Wolverine Guard (WG) is a Bellevue High PTSA sponsored award that recognizes student’s who perform 100+ hours of community service in a 12 month period from May 1st to April 30th. Each student who reports their hours will earn the Wolverine Guard Certificate. They will also be invited to attend a reception with their families in May or June to honor their accomplishment.
In general community service is giving your time, talents, energy &/or expertise without compensation to benefit at least one other unrelated person. This includes long-term, short-term or one time only service. In most cases, students will be working under an organization such as government, non-profit organization, hospital, nursing home or religious organization.
- A maximum of 12 hours per day may be counted, this includes 24 hour relays (this change is new as of this year, 2008-2009)
- Hours spent in travel are not counted
The PTSA's Wolverine Guard Award is separate from the Bellevue School District's graduation requirement. However, hours that are earned to meet graduation requirements can be included but must be recorded on a WG Community Service form with documentation of the reported hours. The Counseling Office will not report these hours for the student. Students must report all hours they wish to apply to the WG on the "Wolverine Guard Community Service Hour" form.
Process for reporting:
- The “Wolverine Guard Community Service Hour” form can be picked up in the Counselors’ office or downloaded from the web page (see top of page).
- The completed yellow “Wolverine Guard Community Service Hour” form(s) should be returned to the Wolverine Guard box in the Counselors’ Office or emailed to Gwen Pazan at gkpazan@hotmail.com or Jill Gordon at PGordon658@aol.com Please provide proof of service by having contact person sign off on WG form or a separate form or paper. If you turn in hours for graduation requirements you must attach a copy to the WG form; WG will not contact counseling office to confirm service. If documentation is not included the hours will not be credited towards the award.
- During the months of April & May an updated listing of qualified students will be posted in the Counselors office by Student ID # with hours that have been reported. Students who feel their hours are in error or missing should contact Gwen Pazan at gkpazan@hotmail.com or Jill Gordon at PGordon658@aol.com
- All forms must be turned in by the 1st school day after April 30th.
