Member Hours
Not a Member? Sign up here! Please become a member before documenting your hours.
View the spreadsheet below to see your hours. The spreadsheet is updated once a week. Please check this source before claiming hours for another club (NHS, Key Club, etc.).
*to get credit for your lunch-bunch hours you need to check in with Ekam so he can mark it on his clipboard*
Use the Miscellaneous Hours Submission form to submit non-lunch bunch hours. Lunch bunch hours can only be verified by signing in on Ekam's clipboard in class. For other hours such as unified track, events, etc. use this to submit hours. These hours must still be able to be verified by Miss D!! We will not tolerate the submission of false hours. Each event must be submitted independently.

In School Opportunities
Out of school hours, such as Miracle League, are not required, but we expect each member to achieve at least 5 in school hours a semester. One half of lunch counts as half of an hour. Members who are the most active are more likely to be chosen to go on field trips. A good rule of thumb is to try to come for 1 lunch bunch a week or every other week to get 5 hours.
