Tips to Find More Service Hours

Need more service hours before Confirmation? There are many opportunities within the school and parish alone, not to mention the opportunities in Dublin and the greater Columbus area.

Why earn service hours?

The primary reason is to live out our faith in our actions. Scripture repeatedly calls us to serve the poor, to treat others the way we want to be treated, and to be giving with our time and talents. For this reason and others, all students must earn 25 hours before Confirmation; these hours can be earned during the 7th and 8th grade years.

How to Complete Test Corrections (Correctly)

(Reminder: We also have a post about Friday folders and corrections here.)

When students do not meet the standard on a test on the first try, we teachers ask them to fill out a form called “test corrections”. On the form, the students will fill in these fields:

• Original (incorrect) answer
• New (correct) answer
• Why the new answer is the correct one
• Where the student FOUND the correct answer (which book, video, notes, or source)
• Why the student got it wrong the first time (guessed, forgot, etc.)
