Do you need community service hours? Beginning next year students will be required to have 40 hours of community service to graduate. The St. Vincent de Paul Store is looking for student volunteers on Saturday mornings from 8:30am to 12:30pm once a month. They need students every weekend, so they are able to work around your schedule. For more information see the poster on the volunteer bulletin board beside Guidance and on the door at the chaplain's office. We have always had a great relationship with the St. Vincent de Paul Store, so they came to us first looking for student volunteers. It's a great experience and you would earn 4 service hours each time.
