  • OUR MISSION

    OHE students will grow personally through service to others in their communities.

    Community Service- Grades K - 5

    Has your student been logging community service hours this year? Consider turning in their total hours to Nurse Alli to qualify for community service awards!

     

    • What qualifies as community service? Community service is any activity that has a significant impact on meeting the needs of the community. This could include service with community or religious organizations, school-based projects, or most importantly, individual efforts to help others. Fundraising or paid services do not qualify. Blue Valley’s definition of community service includes to be for the benefit of others, give service in an area in need, not involve payment.

     

    • How do I turn in my student's hours? Please email Nurse Alli at awiles@bluevalleyk12.org a log of hours at the end of the year. Any format is fine, as long as it has dates, a short description, and total hours completed.
