Service Learning Hours Update

Anne Powell, YMCA, West Seattle High School, along with her colleague at Chief Sealth will be hosting a “Winter Service Week” where students can earn 9-10 hours of service in just two days during the winter break, on December 21st and 22nd.  For those students who might be inquiring about hours, this would be a great way to get their feet wet and earn 1/6 of their hours at the same time!  You must sign up with Ms. Powell (there is a permission slip required) as soon as possible, as space will be limited.

Ms. Powell can be reached at:
