Community Service
is an important aspect of the educational environment at
Tantasqua Regional Junior High School.

"Effective Service Learning Projects go beyond simply using the community as a learning laboratory. Of equal importance is the attempt to solve school and community problems, meet human and environmental needs, and advocate for laws or programs that promote the common good. Through addressing real-life problems in their communities, students are challenged to work together to exercise the rights and responsibilities of democratic ctizenship...Service learning is distinguished from community service or volunteerism in two ways:
1) The service activity is integrated with academic skills and content;
and 2) Students engage in reflection activities on their experience..."
