VARSITY
LETTER FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDED TO 88 PIERCE COUNTY STUDENTS
June 8, 2005
Tacoma,
Wash. - Eighty-eight Pierce County students have earned
varsity letters in community service after tallying more than
20,000 hours of service during the year. Every Pierce County
school district participated in the third year of this one-of-a-kind
program where varsity letters, just like those given to athletes
and musicians, are awarded for community service.
In order to qualify, students
were required to volunteer their time with one school-related
project and one community-oriented project totaling 145 hours
or more of service. The hours had to be completed between
April 1, 2004 and April 1, 2005. Students will be recognized
at a banquet Monday, June 13th at 6:00 pm at the Gonyea Boys
and Girls Club.
The letter in community service
program was created and implemented by the United Way of Pierce
County in cooperation with Youth United. Pierce County is
the first county in the United States to have every school
district participating in such a program.
This year's awards double the
number of letters given in 2004. The individual students accumulated
anywhere from the 145-hour minimum to 1100 hours of service
in their effort to earn the letter. Of the group, 75 students
are first-year recipients, 9 are second-year recipients, 2
are third-year recipients and 2 are fourth-year recipients.
