The mission of the Service Learning program at ASFG is to develop caring and responsible students who have a deep understanding of the social and environmental needs of the community around them and to provide opportunities to develop the skills and vision necessary to address those needs.
The ASFG Learning Goal of “Community Contributors” is achieved through the Service Learning program which starts in Early Childhood and continues through High School. From the very first day of school students are educated to be aware of their community and are encouraged to help when and where they can. It begins with discussions and small projects and parental assistance with fundraising in Early Childhood. Students and teachers in Early Childhood assist other Service Learning projects in the school with great enthusiasm. In Elementary, there are well established programs that include collections, fundraising, and visits to specific projects. Elementary also responds to emerging community needs or emergencies throughout the year. In Middle School each grade level has a developed project that students traditionally work with each year. These projects involve curriculum integration, fundraising and visits to the projects. During the High School years students are required to complete 100 hours of community service as part of the Service Learning graduation requirement. Students have an extensive variety of projects to choose from.
ASFG has made Service Learning a priority. Contributing to the community fosters empathy, tolerance, and creates self confident graduates. Service Learning is made possible with support from all stakeholders of the school.
