 * Six Basics to completing a service learning project: (adapted from Peace Jam Foundation: Leaders Guide 2007)**

**Service Projects I have done:**
One service project i have done is helping with the winter social. I stayed after school helping a teacher (Ms.Carmen) make decorations for my schools winter social. I made three hours of service. I also helped decorate the gym during class. It was a lot of fun!This is an example of being a good student in your = =  school by helping out with something. You can ask your principal if you can help in something like this. It is easy, simple and fun to do!

**Service Project Proposal**:
I want to help my community to be a better, cleaner place. So my Service Project Proposal is to help clean my schools community. I would put a sign up sheet for people who want to help to sign up. But first i would have to ask my schools principal if we could do that. Also many teachers would have to be involved. I would ask teachers that are interested to help. If they said yes i would probably go clean about 5 blocks with all the people that wanted to help. This would help my schools community be a more beautiful place and we would have made it that way which is a very good thing.

Reflections:
1. Doing service projects make you grow as a member of your community.Helping in service projects is as easy as making decorations. That is what i did at my school. Doing service projects can help you grow as a student in your school. This is good because it helps you get a good reputation as a student. You will be more trustworthy and responsible. Which are good traits if you want to go to college.
