The following is a list of pre-approved community service ideas that Freshman and Sophomores may choose from to gain your required number of hours of community service for the Academy of Liberal Arts at Newton High School for the 2010-2011 school year. This list is not a complete list of all acceptable ideas. Others may be accepted with prior approval from your Academy advisor. Please remember to get pre-approved for any project not listed here and to complete the required ALANHS Community Service form for each project completed. It will require you to get a signature from the on-site coordinator of the project and a brief reflection on your experience.
