4th Graders go to Court

Here’s a note from Joan White about the goings on at the Courthouse last Thursday…

SJC Prosecutor Randy Gaylord’s wife, Marny is the 4th Grade Teacher on Orcas Island. She has come over with her students for several years now to tour the courthouse. It is always the week before Flag Day so I like to combine not only viewing the Superior Courtroom but also providing healthy treats, a Flag and a scroll for them to read and learn the history of our flag.

Last year Judge Eaton conducted a little trial which the children participated in.

This year it was a little different in that he gave them more of the history of what Superior Court/Juvenile Court does. Judge Eaton can relate to the children so well for them to understand – it’s truly wonderful and we are all so fortunate to have him as our Judge.

When the children departed from here with their goodies, Randy took them to the Sheriff’s Office where Sheriff Nou gave them a tour as well.
