Wallace's FOCUS Students Encounter Justice System

Eighth grade FOCUS students witnessed, firsthand, the workings of the judicial branch of government when they visited the Grand Street Courthouse on Thursday, April 29. US Marshall Preziosa gave students a tour of the lock-up and various court rooms. Judge Adelman, Public Defender Green, and State's Attorney Davenport met with the students, shared overviews of their roles and responsibilities, and answered questions. The visit ended with students' observing actual court proceedings of the criminal court.

Solar Systems Galore In Yeshion House's 8th Grade Science Class

Mrs. Rusnov's 8th grade science students went "to infinity and beyond" to create models of the solar system. Students grabbed styrofoam, wire, wood, clay, rice crispie treats, frosting, paint, cardboard, pins, string and more to show the arrangement of planets around the sun. One model literally towered over the others and included LED lights. Saturn's rings were shown in particularly creative fashion. Congratulations to those students who so successfully combined art and science!
