Reflection Instruction:
In order to earn service learning hours, a reflection will need to be turned in to a teacher for input into Power School. The reflection should address: What did you do? What did you learn? In what way was this service to your community? Write about the challenges an individual with disabilities or a senior citizen experiences navigating stores. What can stores do to better service their customers with these challenges?
