At The Geneva School several student organizations seek to volunteer to give back to the community. Two such organizations are The National Honor Society and the student-led organization known as the “Round Table.”
The national constitution of the National Honor Society mandates that members conduct a major service project each year. The Geneva School Post Tenebras Lux Chapter chooses to perform a service project every month of the school year, in addition to a major service project for the year. In the school year 2009-2010, the students of this society worked in conjunction with “God’s Hands and Feet” to collect and compile 150 bags of necessary items for homeless people in downtown Orlando. Several members of the Society hand-delivered these bags to their homeless recipients. In conjunction with the Round Table, the National Honor Society students organized a family film night and collected over $1,000 for relief to be sent to Haiti after the recent devastating earthquake.
Annual projects include the Operation Christmas Child shoebox drive, a blanket and coat drive for the Coalition for the Homeless and the Humane Shelter, and an Easter drive of hygiene items for the Longwood Sharing Center. Students also make and sell baked goods at various home athletic events, and use the money to purchase more supplies to bake cookies, which they deliver to local firemen.
Within the Geneva community, students provide free tutoring services once a week after school. The math society, Mu Alpha Theta, provides tutoring in math to both upper and lower school students. National Honor Society students offer homework help and English tutoring.
The “Round Table” works to foster a sense of community within the school by hosting school dances, providing hot chocolate to students during exam week, and an al fresco lunch at the end of the year.
