Presidential Service Award Guide

ATTENTION JUNIOR AND SENIOR STUDENT MENTORS: This is the very first year that the first Presidential Service Award will be awarded during the 2012-2013 Awards Assembly. In order to achieve this award, you must track your hours in the presidential service award website. You are required to track:

• The summer hour meeting that we held over the summer (the one at the Eisenhower Public Library Board Room)
• The sessions where you assist your adult mentors at the monthly goal setting sessions.
• The once a month meeting we have with Mrs. Barry where we review the Freshmen's planners.

Here is a guide to help you track your hours. (Click images to enlarge)
