What is Service Learning?

• Service learning is a method of learning that
  combines service to the community with classroom
  curriculum.
• It is a hands-on approach to learning and helps
  students fulfill their responsibility to the
  community in which they live.

Did You Know?

• About 63 percent of all households in the United
  States have a pet.
• Approximately 5 million companion animals enter
  animal shelters nationwide every year.
• For a wide number of reasons, many animals find
  themselves without a loving home.

The Service Learning Project

• The sixth grade language arts students will be
  working hand-in-hand with the Campbell County
  Animal Shelter to help care for the homeless
  animals of our community.
• In order to properly care for the animals at the
  shelter, the shelter relies on donations from the
  community.
