Third grade students at Garfield celebrated Constitution Day with about 17,000 other 3rd graders nationwide, through a virtual presentation hosted by USD 233 and Judge Robert J. Wonnell of the Kansas 10th Judicial Court in Olathe. Students learned about the U.S. Constitution from Judge Wonnell, and other guest speakers including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and U.S. Senator Jerry Moran. Students also participated in a virtual mock jury trial with Judge Wonnell presiding, to learn about one of the core tenets of the Constitution.
The process of the mock trial aligns with the third grade history, government and social studies standards approved by the Kansas State Board of Education.
