Supreme Court

Hey guys, guess what our class did last Wednesday? We got to argue Supreme Court cases! Mrs. Drendall’s husband, Mr. Drendall, came in to act as the Chief Justice, while four fellow students, Lua Derakhshani-Stockman, Josephine Barber, Emilee Ludwick, and Phillip Yang got to act as associate judges. The cases argued were New Jersey v. T.L.O. and Wisconsin v. Yoder.

The class was divided into four groups, with two groups to a case. Each group presented excellent arguments and it was tough for the justices to decide on a final verdict. In the end, though, New Jersey and Yoder won their cases. Overall, the experience taught us all about the court system and how the Supreme Court works. Thanks to Mr. Kelly and Mr. Feferman for coordinating the whole activity and ensuring that we would be prepared for it. Also, a special thanks to Mr. Drendall for reserving time in his busy schedule to come in and assist us. Thank you!!!  

 

 

Camp Tecumseh

Camp Tecumseh was great! We had so much fun, and participated in many activities that were very challenging and allowed us to bond together as a class. These activities included climbing Mt. Wood, carrying people through a “spider web,” and going through a low ropes course blindfolded. This experience was definitely one this Junior High class will fondly remember! 

 

Hey kids in Upper El, this trip was a blast, and you will definitely want to go!

 

Oh yeah, kids in Lower El, you have a while, but it’s worth the wait!
