Students will not be allowed to “purchase” more than 2 hours of community service credit each quarter (except for the second (Christmas) quarter when they may purchase all 5 hours). For example, a student may purchase a grocery bag of food for Westview Mission/Faith Center. Based on the items provided, the school may issue them 1-2 hours of credit. If a second project involves spending money on some item or donation or donating blood, etc., those hours could not be counted. It is our desire that students spend time with an organization rather than only purchasing for or donating items to them.
