Get Yourself to
Help-a-Shelf
Do you need community service hours or just like the idea of helping out? Consider participating in Get Yourself to Help-a-Shelf.  This program allows you to take charge of one shelf in the library and keep it neat and organized.  Students are expected to check their shelves approximately once a week.  At the end of the school year, each student receives a certificate of volunteer service hours. 

Interested students need to attend a training session.

For more information, see Mrs. Gelman in the library.
