Varsity Lettering

Stillwater Area Schools has partnered with Community Thread to recognize and reward students for their volunteer efforts in the community by offering a Varsity Letter in Community Service. The program started as a way to recognize students for their efforts to make a difference locally and around the world. In the 2014-15 school year, 53 students earned their varsity letter collectively contributing more than 6,500 hours to their community.

To earn the letter, students must complete at least 100 hours of community service, with half of that time spent working with a specific cause. In the past, students volunteered with local churches, senior centers, hunger-related organizations, and took part in mission’s trips around the world. In addition to completing the hours, students must obtain two letters of recommendation and complete a reflection project about their service.

To letter in community service you must have;

100 hours of community service
Two letters of recommendation
A complete reflection on the service done

The President's Volunteer Service Award is separate from the Varsity Letter in Community Service. Students are eligible to receive both their varsity letter in community service and their President’s Volunteer Service Award.
