There are only a few opportunities working directly with the school. These include:
Festival of the Arts -- in years when the Festival of the Arts helps support a charity, hours are available for students to help with the event. Work must be performed after school hours. The event is held in May.
Assisting Teachers after School -- Students can earn SSL hours assisting teachers after school with work related to class instruction. Talk with your teacher. Assisting teachers during school hours only counts as Student Service Learning if a student is officially registered as a Student Aid for the semester.
The PTSA is an independent organization and is preapproved for SSL. There are often opportunities to work with the PTSA at Whitman and at other schools. Listen for school announcements and look for Whitnet notices during the year.
