All NJHS students must commit to 20 hours of community service for the entire year (membership requirement) and the time frame for service is June 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012. All 20 hours may be earned in the summer. Even though the deadline is May 31, 2012, please turn in your service hours to Ms Fornsel as you earn them. If you are interested in qualifying for a service award, Ms Fornsel must receive your service hours before May 11, 2012.
Students seeking membership in the NJHS must complete at least 10 hours of community service before January 12, 2012.
