6th Grade Guidance Counselor David Gibbons presented a slide show with details regarding service-learning hours, requirements, how they can be earned, and how parents can track how many have been earned.

• 75 service-learning hours are required in order to graduate from any school in the state of MD.

• School based hours should total 55 hours, the remaining 20 hours must be earned independently.

• Independent service-learning hours must be pre-approved by the school guidance counselor.

• Forms for Independent Service-Learning hours can be found on the Caroline County web page.

• Slides that were presented during the meeting can be found on the PTA Facebook page as well as the PTA website.

• Mr. Gibbons stressed that the minimum requirement to graduate is 75.  However, earning more will help when applying for scholarships and with college.
