AT EDEN, we believe in strong partnership with parents welcoming their involvement in the activities of the school.
 
In support of that partnership, every Eden family is required to contribute 15 service hours each school year. ( Preschool family requirement is 7.5 service hours in a school year.)
 
Families are responsible for fulfilling their service hours by April 30 and recording them in ParentsWeb no later than May 3. Service hours not fulfilled are billed to the family (rate of $10 per hour) in May.
 
If you have questions about volunteer opportunities or fulfilling your hours, please contact your campus volunteer coordinator.

National Honor Society (NHS) students SERVE AS LEADERS in the Eden Christian Academy community. A recent workshop challenged them to think about the IMPORTANCE OF LEADERSHIP and how THEY CAN SERVE AND LEAD more within the school community. Mr. Robert Brooks (Athletes in Action, Cleveland, Ohio) and Gary Laird (Eden Chaplain and NHS Sponsor) facilitated the event that included lecture sessions and HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES. Gary Laird stated, “The highlight of the day was seeing students collaborating and applying what they learned to create a draft of the Eden Christian Academy NHS student code of conduct.”
