If you would like to check if your student has completed his/her hours, please log onto Powerschool. Scroll down to Service Learning, Q4. If there is an "S-O", your child still needs to complete additional hours. The social studies teachers have updated copies of hour records, or you may contact Ms. Both, the Service Learning Coordinator at kboth@shsd.org. Please note: Hours are submitted on a rolling basis, so once certificates are processed, Powerschool will reflect the changes. For a copy of the service certificate, please click here.
The Bernardsville Middle School Seventh Grade Destination ImagiNation team won second place at the NJDI State Finals and have been invited to attend DI Globals in May. This is a very prestigious award, and the team is very pleased with their efforts, win and invitation. The team, named Paws with a Cause, chose to do project OUTREACH as their challenge. They helped raise money for St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center. They collected donations from four towns, hosted an event where pets get their picture taken with Santa, and they held a bake sale at Shop Rite. They raised over $2000 for St. Hubert's! Great job, DI Team and good luck in the Globals!
