Objectives of the Archbishop Rummel High School Service Programs:

1.  To introduce students to Christ’s imperative to serve one another in the spirit of the school’s mission statement, by fulfilling annual Christian service requirements.

2.  To encompass the Lasallian heritage of faith, community, and service encouraging students to be leaders-leaders who serve others, leaders who care embodying the motto of Archbishop Rummel –“To give one’s life for the sheep.”

3.  To allow students to understand the Lasallian definition of social justice – Loving people so much that we work to change the structures that violate their dignity.

4.  To encourage Archbishop Rummel students to perform service because they want to and not merely fulfill a requirement.

5.  To help students develop skills and talents to the best of their ability through service following the mission of the school and LaSallian tradition

6.  To establish the Archbishop Rummel High School student body as a force in the assisting of those in need in the community and rebuilding the community by the range and quality of service opportunities offered.

During their high school career, students in this program will develop an orientation towards Christian service by gradually increasing commitments to various service options culminating in their senior year with a final opportunity to reflect on the success and impact their service projects. The hope is that students incorporate service as a core value in their lives and see it at the heart of what it means to be a leader in society.

• The Greater New Orleans Senior Olympics is gearing up for its annual games which begin on February 15, 2019, and end on April 14, 2019.  In the past, GNOSO has been fortunate to have had young men from Archbishop Rummel High School volunteer for some of the weekend games.  Once again, this organization would be very grateful for any young men who need volunteer hours--or who just want to volunteer--and be part of our senior games experience.  Volunteers are provided with a Volunteer T-shirt, snacks, drinks and sometimes lunch--depending on the games and their length, and of course, volunteer service hours.  I am attaching the 2019 GNOSO Entry Form to this e-mail--it gives the dates, times and contact information for all our events.
  As Swimming Event Coordinator, I am in great need of timers, and the volunteers will be instructed in this task--no experience is necessary.  This event takes place on Saturday afternoon, March 9, 2019, at the UNO Lakefront Arena Aquatic Center.  Anyone who is interested can call me at the contact information I will provide below.  Contact: Ellen Hall, Telephone:  504-737-4262   Cell:  504-444-3416    E-mail:  ellenhhall@aol.com

• FAMILY GRAS 2019
  Family Gras 2019 is set for February 22, 23 & 24 and we are reaching out to our local High Schools to consider our event as a way for students to earn services hours. (We are not accepting students in 8th grade.)
   
  Family Gras has a new site - Clearview Center. We are thrilled to have this new location create new experiences for those attending the carnival festivities. Students will mostly work the VIP entrance area adjusting wristbands and/or punching holes on tickets. Other assigned areas may be assigned as needed such as assisting with kid’s activities or VIP tent. All students must sign-up prior to the event since only those accepted will be able to access the VIP area. Attached is the Family Gras 2019 Volunteer sign-up form that must be returned to my attention no later than Tuesday, February 19th.
