Understanding Grade 9-12 Service Hour Requirements: Service Immersions
Inclusive to the 120 hours of community service required for graduation, students are to complete two service immersion experiences, one of which must be a CHCA Upper School 9-12 Service Immersion. Service immersions are extended service-learning experiences in marginalized communities, and are most often associated with trips. On a service immersion, students not only participate in daily volunteer work, but they also participate in intentional living and learning experiences which build community, promote social justice, and spiritual growth. Students are to complete one service immersion project by the end of their sophomore year and a second by the end of the first semester of their senior year. Non-CHCA service immersions must be pre-approved by the Outreach/SOS office. We offer several experiences that are no cost. Students who attend CHCA for their senior year only are not required to complete a service immersion. Students who attend for 2 ½ years or more are required to complete 2 service immersions. More information about community service requirements can be found here.

All School News
This week's Beacons of the Week are the faculty, staff, parents, and students who helped to make CHCA's first ever Food Symposium a success! A special shout out to CHCA seniors, Douglas Hansford and Sydney Sauer, for helping above and beyond in multiple ways. Thanks to Becki Droege for organizing the expo hall, Natalie McSwain for creating a beautiful chocolate tasting, and Emily Rempe for organizing the food truck rally. Senior Megan Peck did a fantastic job overseeing the coffee bar during the event, and seniors Chanse Ashman and Aaron Frank helped set up and tear down. Special thanks to Kim Vincent, who was instrumental in organizing the speaker green room, making t-shirts, mugs, and canvas bags. Behind the scenes, Jane Haslem and Debbie Shear were wonderful in designing the website, Jennifer Murphy did a great job promoting the event, and Ashley Carter and Julie Carnes helped immensely with various planning and logistics. Many more faculty participated, and students, staff, and parents volunteered. And of course, The Food Symposium would not be what it was without the inspiration and planning of CHCA faculty Stephen Carter. A full feature on this event will be shared this upcoming week. Until then, well done to all involved.
