The Denver DHH Track and Field Day is a great way for Middle and High School Students to experience Community Service. Not only does the event support the Community by encouraging students to donate to Food Bank of the Rockies, to help out Hearing Dog International buy donating items off their wish list, and helping Dove get the word out about their services, it is also a great way for these students to provide a community service to their peers!
Middle and High School students can interact with their younger peers, acting as role models and promoting good citizenship.
1. Be a group leader
-Help younger students learn new games and meet new friends. Encourage them to try new activities and help them feel successful.
2. Help run an activity
-Encourage younger students to play the game where you are stationed. Give each student a ribbon so that they feel proud of their accomplishments. Help the adults in your group organize the students so that the game goes well and everyone gets a turn.
3. Volunteer with Food Bank of the Rockies
-Make posters to help collect canned foods from your classmates at school
-Help organize and package the food during Track and Field Day
-Teach your friends and family about the importance of donating food
4. Volunteer with Hearing Dog International
-Make posters to collect goods for the hearing dogs from your classmates at school (ask your teacher what items this group is looking for!)
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Track and Field Day
Community Service
In order to make the community service aspect of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Track and Field Day impactful and meaningful for our students, we have provided some suggested “topics of discussion,” classroom projects, and graphic organizers to use in your classrooms prior to the event. The more exposure our students have to related vocabulary and concepts, the better. Please also use the comments section below to post other ideas you have used with your students! Thank you for supporting these very important organizations that benefit our deaf and hard of hearing communities.
