Mock trials and Monday, 1/28

Hello Nathan Hale Community!

It has been my great pleasure and honor to be a judge for a 10th grade Integrated Studies mock trial. I got to watch intrepid student lawyers and well-informed expert witnesses, including Charles Darwin, Ayn Rand, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Jean Piaget testify in the case of the State of England Vs. Jack from Lord of the Flies. All of the students showed strong research, thinking, writing, and reasoning skills. It was very hard to render a verdict!

Many thanks to the Integrated Studies team and our volunteer lawyer/judges who helped to make this exhibition possible.

Please remember that there is no school on Monday! We will begin our new semester on Tuesday, January 29th. Tuesday is a late start day.
