Freshmen

 Christian Service is a requirement for graduation at Prep. As a Jesuit school, we believe that it is invaluable for each student to spend time serving the underprivileged of his community, witnessing and coming to understand a different way of life. To fulfill their Christian Service requirement, freshmen are required to spend a day in service with their homeroom. For the 2011-2012 school year, the assignments are:
 
Homeroom Activity Date
1A, Mr. Brenkert Picnic for Chidren from The Nurturing Place October 5, 2011
1B, Mr. Caulfield Afternoon at PERC Shelter October 8, 2011
1C, Mr. Coviello Halloween Party for Underprivilged Children October 29, 2011
1D, Ms. D'Emic New Day Community Halloween Party November 5, 2011
1E, Ms. Flores Christmas Party for Senior Citizens at The Harborage December 18, 2011
1F, Dr. Hartling New Day Community Winter Carnival January 14, 2012
1G, Mr. Keating New Day Community Valentine's Day Party February 11, 2012
1H, Ms. LaBruno Activity Day TBD March 10, 2012

1K+1L, Mr. Prochilo, SJ and Mr. Scannapieco Senior Citizen Prom April 28, 2012
1M, Ms. Stark New Day Spring Fling May 5, 2012
 
Additionally, students will attend an orientation session with me prior to their afternoon of service to prepare them, and a reflection session after to allow them to process their experience. These will take place during the freshman lunch period. Students will also be required to write a brief reflection paper. The questions for the reflection paper can be found HERE.

Freshmen must attend the day of service their homeroom is assigned. If the student ABSOLUTELY CANNOT attend that day, please contact Ms. Toomb at toombm@spprep.org or (201) 547-6457 immediately to discuss other dates.
