The deadline for submitting your hours for the President's Volunteer Service Award is rapidly approaching! There is a hard deadline of March 31, 2025, so make sure you get your hours submitted before the end of the month.

It’s important to keep track of your volunteering hours and complete the proper documentation, including supervisors' signatures, to qualify to receive an award, which will be given out at the high school award ceremonies in the spring. A total of fifty five BHS students received PVSA awards last year. Your volunteering needs to have been done between April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025 in order to count for this award cycle. The volunteering hours you do for BHS community service hours (and log in the Mobile Serves app) can also count toward this award if they qualify, but you have to take the extra steps to document and submit your hours as outlined below to earn this extra award. Please follow these steps:

1. Now is a great time to make a copy of the President Volunteer Service Award’s 2025 Service Log, which is a master list of your volunteering activities. Rename it with your name at the top. Fill it out during the year each time you volunteer.

2. Print out some Volunteer Service Forms to bring with you each time you volunteer to get your supervisor’s signature at the time of service. If you did service this summer or last spring, contact your supervisor and get them to sign your form retroactively. You will bring all of these to your PTSO volunteer review meeting (which you set up after you have submitted your application form - see the next step).

3. When March comes around, you will be ready to submit the President’s Volunteer Service Award Application Form. This has a hard deadline of March 31, 2025. Once you have submitted this, you will be contacted by the PTSO to set up a quick (5-10 minute) volunteer review meeting, which will take place at the high school during school hours. There will be several different days offered for this in April. 

This program is volunteer-run and funded by the BHS PTSO. Many thanks for the parent donations that make this and other PTSO programs possible to support students. 

If you have questions, please send them to bhsptsoservice@gmail.com.
