In total, students volunteered more than 4,000 hours during the 2009-2010 school year.

Students must volunteer for 10 hours per year in order to graduate.

The students volunteered to work for the company and bought stock.

Even though exams were only three weeks away, 40 students volunteered.

At its peak, there were 13,000 students volunteering per week.

The students, accordingly, volunteered to aid Israel during the war.

Wednesdays are now normal days, and students must volunteer on their own time.

But back at school a few minutes later, they said, one student volunteered that he had a gun and bullets in his bag.

Locally more than 500 students attended the event and volunteered almost 1,200 hours on that one day.
