• Performing in or serving as tech crew for a school stage performance.

You are awarded points at the following levels for reaching GOAL (academics/ behavior/ attendance) :

Volunteer service work that supports Graham is awarded 1 point for every 16 hours of service.

Examples of volunteer activities are serving in the ball room, helping with food service, assisting in the library, participating in beautification day, helping teachers outside of class time, formal peer tutoring, assisting with assembling the Bear Tracks, participating in school-sponsored events such as reading at the Mountain View Library, babysitting at school-sponsored parent meetings, and providing assistance at schools in the Mountain-View Whisman District (such as during walk-a-thons.)  Community service not directly connected to Graham is still encouraged, but it does not count toward Block G.

To receive credit for volunteer service time, students need to submit the Volunteer Service Hours form. Turn in the completed form at the school office.

If you volunteer at a group event, the organizers will usually provide a sign-in sheet so each person does not need to do a form.  It won’t hurt to remind the organizers to be sure to turn in the sign-in sheet!

In either case, please be sure to clearly write your name the same way it appears in the official school records so your service gets properly credited.
