“Give that Little Extra”

• Each student needs to complete 1 EXTRA and 4 hours of service to Scecina per year.
• An Extra is a focused experience in some type of ministry.
• Each EXTRA has three parts.

1. First is education, each EXTRA educates participants so that they have a basic understanding of who they are serving, why they are serving this group, and how best to serve.
2. Second is the actual service. Each EXTRA has different requirements to fulfill this part. Some might be completed on a weekend trip, some might take place over a semester or the year with the students showing up for various activities.
3. To finish each EXTRA the entire group meets to have a reflection. This attempts to engage the student in actually thinking about what service they performed and the information they learned. In this part students will be asked various questions that include, what scripture stories seem to relate to your experience? What was your favorite part of the service? Did you feel uncomfortable at anytime and why? What was your most memorable experience at this EXTRA?

Students need to have one EXTRA to fulfill their requirement and they must sign up for a different EXTRA each year. Students may participate in more than one extra per year but only one will count to fulfill the requirement.

The Scecina service hours are meant to help keep students involved in various activities at school. These hours can be completed any time in the year. We would like to keep these hours focused on Scecina. Possible examples of things that would count for hours would be working sports camps in the summer, working CYO and sporting events at Scecina, helping set up and tear down for special events, working on the building and grounds here.
