The Green Meadow Elementary School Student Council enjoyed a memorable field trip to the Rensselaer County Courthouse on Monday morning. The field trip included:

  • Tour of the courthouse
  • Opportunity to sit in and observe actual court proceedings
  • Participation in mock trial of “The Gum Thief”

They also met Senator Jake Ashby, Assemblymember John McDonald, Judge Debra Young, and District Attorney Mary Pat Donnelly.

“It was a fantastic day filled with learning and fun!” said Student Council Co-Advisor Jaimee Kusche.

Special thank you to the District Attorney Donnelly for hosting the Student Council!
