Jefferson Awards Students In Action

Where We Have Been & Where We Are Heading

Promoting the Jefferson Awards at our Faculty Meeting

Vision: Our vision for the Student in Action Program at A E Beach High School is to promote service not only within the school, but also within the community. We would like for our students to become more self- driven when it comes to developing community service projects. We would also like for our students to learn the importance of giving back on a worldly level.

Leadership Team: 10 Student Leaders

Succession Plan: 1. Continue recycling efforts by adding plastic2. Create a scholarship fund for a deserving senior that is based on community service efforts3. Recruit 2 Freshman leaders4.

We advertised the Packed the Pantry activity through the our district’s intranet site.

A notice was also placed on WTOC’s website to advertise the Phonebook Recycling Program that our school participated in.

This year we also recognized a church (The Christian Revival Center) within our community that did a Haiti Relief Project. A dress down day was used to raise $700 for the cause. The money was used to buy supplies for the church and they were given a Jefferson Awards for their efforts.

We paired up with Vaden Car Dealerships for our Packed the Pantry and Pennies for Patients activities.

We created an information board and winner board in the main lobby of our school. We nominated 3 more winners than the previous year along with adding 2 more student leaders to create more depth for our program in the future. We also attended the Fall Training in Charleston, SC.

We also added a Jefferson Awards page to our school webpage.
