Idea to send:	Topic education/volunteerism Content I would like to see Oklahoma school children required to do volunteer community service each year as part of their education. They could work on community projects alongside community leaders and/or school officials. I believe this endeavor would not only teach children work ethic and volunteerism, but also foster pride in their communities. I believe that ultimately this would cut down on vandalism, littering, etc. because the children would have pride in their community and its work. This could start in grade school with requirement of 1 or 2 hours each year and a simple project could be selected that the whole class could work on such as planting a tree on the school grounds or in a park and advance from there with older students being required to put in more hours each year.
