Oconomowoc High School and Oconomowoc Area Chamber of Commerce Collaboration
October 18, 2022 | 8:00am – 11:00am
A key component of Oconomowoc Area School District’s Graduate Profile includes preparing students to be global citizens. This entails helping students grow as service-minded individuals who are empowered to think globally and act locally. A global citizen embraces diversity and humanitarianism while demonstrating awareness and empathy. Towards that end, OHS engages all of our freshmen in a service learning project.
We are planning for service learning projects to take place from about 8 – 11 am.
Collaboration Opportunities:
The Oconomowoc High School and Oconomowoc Area Chamber of Commerce are partnering for a Day of Service, an event in which Chamber businesses and students work together on a service learning project to give back to our community. Ways you can participate include the following:
- Participate in one of the service learning projects led by the high school staff (see list below).
- Host a service learning project at your business (this could be your own project or one from the high school list). This is a great way for students to learn more about your company and an easy way for your own employees to participate.
- Lead a service learning project that others could participate in
- Donate materials in kind
- Make a financial donation to support materials and/supplies for one of the projects
