LEADERSHIP DIXIE ACADEMY

Social  Responsibility

Picture

Picture
As leaders, it's important to know the issues in our community and be willing to serve those in need

Leadership Dixie Academy students are encouraged to volunteer their time for various community events, and to include their friends in these opportunities. To be a leader, you need others to follow; and the best way to lead is through inspiration and example. Points are awarded for each hour our Leadership Dixie Academy students spend volunteering in our community, plus they receive points for each hour their friends spend helping the cause, too. The school and students with the most points, will win the  coveted "Valedictorian" award, which can proudly be displayed on resumes, college scholarship and job applications. For many of these organizations, it's the individual's commitment to others that sets them apart from others who apply.

Volunteer hours are collected on each Challenge Day for the previous month. Click HERE for a copy of the form.


Students also participate in their school's "Community Service" project. Each school creates their own project to assist a need in their school, community, or for an individual. Each student is REQUIRED to put a minimum of 10-hours towards the project, and encourage fellow classmates to get involved in their cause. A friendly competition between all six schools to have the best outcome from their project makes this a FUN way to serve others.

Social Responsibility Project
Each school's project will be judged using specific criteria. The school with the highest score will win the school project award. It's a good idea to follow the rubric outline when presenting, in order for the judges to easily provide a score. Click on the button below to download the scoresheet for the project.
