Each of these students has given numerous hours of their time giving back and making a difference in the community. “I would have never asked to be rewarded for community service because even though I’m giving back to my community in a way it gives back to me through meeting new people, and understand what it means to help the environment” states Simmons, a senior. The Sol C. Johnson High Jefferson Awards organiza tion honors one student each month with their “Nominate a Shooting Star Student” months. This is where faculty and staff receive nomination form to recognize a student they feel has been doing out standing work within their school and community. The students are recognized within their third blocks with a certificate and pin. “Although all my peers who have made a change and did community service can’t receive this award it is still an honor to let the few that was nominate know that we do appreciate them and all they do in our community and at our school with our organization and on their own. Many believe that “community service” is just a requirement needed to graduate and it’s not fun and it’s boring, but throughout this school year so much of my peers have been receiv ing information from our “Get More by Giving More” help desk this year. It’s just an honor to award my peers with these awards each month” states Shanteria Hugue, Sol C.
