Mock Trial Team Wins Counties
Our Mock Trial team made it to the semi-finals at the Brighton Town Court last week. Last night, they became county champions at the Federal building in downtown Rochester. For the first time, they are headed to Jamestown the week of April 21 as one of only four teams to compete for the regional title. They are amazing students and young people. I am fortunate to work with such a talented, dedicated team. Attached are pictures of the semi-finals win and the county win.
The team members in the semi-finals: Aarushi (Tia) Narang, Asha Temperley, Lily Fitzpatrick, Ari Cator, Jack Harrington, and Edin Harvey.
The team members in last night's county win: Lily Fitzpatrick, Ari Cator, Jack Harrington, Edin Harvy, Aurora Cabral, and David Lusignan.
