WMS student's celebrated National Law Day
May 1st was National Law Day. National Law Day is celebrated yearly in the US and is intended to emphasize the rule of law and to how the legal system contributes to a free society. It is also an opportunity for our students to learn more about civics and the impact it has on community and society.
At Woonsocket Middle School, iExplore teacher and social studies teacher, Toni Marie Campopiano has been celebrating this day with her students for more than 20 years. This year she and her students were the recipients of a presentation and Q & A session from the Magistrate of the Woonsocket Tribunal Court as well as a local attorney.
Our students did an excellent job of asking very intuitive questions. She and their guests were very impressed with the questions the students asked. Our guests did a wonderful job answering the students' questions in depth and adding more information where they felt needed. Some questions ranged from, Is your job stressful? Who inspired you to become a Judge or Lawyer? What happens when your client says something inappropriate? What was your worst case? What case do you remember the most? Do you make mistakes? How much money do you make? I can't wait until next year!!!
Congratulations to Ms. Campopiano and her students for taking part in such an important civic opportunity!
