Student Service Learning (SSL) Notes
Give a Little Time…Make a Big Difference
March 2010
Students GAIN NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS.
Spring Break at the end of this month is a good time to get involved in service. Consider all opportunities to learn about real need and yourself as well as earn SSL hours toward the state graduation requirement.
- Students who have met the graduation requirement of 75 hours by the first Friday in April of a middle school year will be awarded the Superintendent’s SSL Award. This year, due to the spring break, documentation of service is due to the SSL coordinator by the 2nd Friday in April (4-9-10).
- Seniors who have documented 260 or more SSL hours by the first Friday in April will be awarded a Certificate of Meritorious Service. This year due to the spring break documentation for this award is due to the SSL coordinator by the 2nd Friday in April.
- When you think about service for which SSL hours are awarded think: nonprofit, tax exempt, organization, public place, secular in nature, adult supervision (not a parent), meeting a real need !
