Students and parents Make sure a parent or guardian checks out volunteer opportunities, even if they are posted on this website, to verify that it is an appropriate activity for students and that there is adult supervision.

Parents & Students,
If you want to be added to an EMAIL GROUP that will send announcements regarding student volunteer opportunities to your inbox, please email our Parent Support Specialist, Stela Holcombe, at stela_holcombe@roundrockisd.org. You should continue to check this website and listen to announcements for volunteer opportunities. This will simply be one more way we share information with you. And REMEMBER, if you commit to a volunteer project is it important that you FOLLOW THROUGH-- especially if it involves child care at one of the elementary campuses. Thank you for doing your best to represent the Stony Point Tigers!

Volunteer Opportunity
First United Methodist Church of Round Rock is having their annual Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 5th, 8-11am at the church in the Family Life Center. They are looking for enthusiastic youth who would like to help the children participate in making crafts, playing games and selling tickets. If you are able to volunteer the entire time or just part of the time that morning, contact Mendy Barnett, Breakfast with Santa Chair, nbarnett@austin.rr.com or 989-9920.

Volunteer Opportunity: I am an Elementary Instructional Coach for RRISD. My team is currently preparing for Summer Staff Development for RR teachers. Would you happen to have any students at this time of the year that might be needing to collect service hours? We need help making Classroom Math Games to be given as door prizes during these trainings? If so, please just give them our email addresses and we will take it from there!

Volunteer Opportunity: The Reaching Out Center Food Pantry would love to have volunteers. We are open to our clients every Friday 2:00 – 5:00 and need help in packing groceries and taking them to their vehicles or helping with check-in. The pantry is located at 15630 Vision Dr., (inside the Snappy Snacks gates), in Pflugerville. Phone number is 251-4800. We serve a lot of clients from the Round Rock area.

Around Christmas, we will have the Celebration of Love, where volunteers will help give away food, toys, and jackets to 1500 families. This is scheduled for Saturday, December 12.

Stony Point Students Volunteer 60,000 hours

Tigers in Service is a student volunteer program. We request each of our students to do twenty hours of volunteer work in our community each school year. Students who complete at least 80 hours will receive a community service cord to wear at graduation. Our goal is that Stony Point High School takes its place as a contributing member of our community.

Tigers in Service Guidelines
Students who complete at least 80 hours (an average of 20 per year)* throughout high school will receive a community service cord to wear at graduation.
After volunteering, the student will complete the Tigers in Service Verification Form, which they will submit to the main office. Students should also keep a copy for their files for use on applications to colleges and technical schools, employment and scholarships. Universities and businesses are looking for well rounded applicants, and community service can often be the deciding factor for admittance or employment.
Questions or comments can be directed to tigersinservice@gmail.com Tigers in Service Verification Forms can be obtained from the Main Office (at both campuses), or can be printed off the school website under the school home page.
Volunteer service must be performed for a non-profit organization, and the student cannot be paid for their services.
Fundraising activities DO NOT qualify for Tigers in Service hours.
No more than 8 hours per day can be counted. Service forms must include sponsor signature to be counted.
FORMS MUST BE TURNED IN BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR - NO FORMS FOR PREVIOUS YEARS WILL BE ACCEPTED. HOURS WORKED OVER THE SUMMER NEED TO BE TURNED IN BY THE END OF THE 1ST SIX WEEKS. SENIORS MUST TURN IN ALL HOURS BY APRIL 1 TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE GRADUATION CORD. FORMS NOT SUBMITTED BY THESE DEADLINES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. FORMS THAT ARE NOT COMPLETE OR THAT CANNOT BE VERIFIED WILL BE RETURNED.
