Government Day Information

Class of 2020 - 7:00 am Meet at Perimeter Church parking lot off of Medlock Bridge Road

Please wear business casual attire. No jeans, no t-shirts, no dresses, no skirts, no open-toed shoes.

We will be visiting the following places:

  • Department of Revenue
  • Fulton County Jail
  • Fulton County Superior Court
  • Fulton County Government Building
  • Georgia State Capitol

There will be a lot of walking and although you are wearing business casual attire, I'm fine with tennis shoes.

You will be asked to only use your cell phone on the bus - this is very important and will be strictly enforced. At the jail, you will have to leave all personal property on the bus.

We will arrive home approximately 5 pm. On the bus you will have WiFi and can text your parents as to our progress so they are able to arrive back at Perimeter
Church to pick you up if you don't drive.

LUNCH OPTIONS - If you haven't made a choice by 11/1, I will order a ham sandwich for you. LUNCH CHOICES
Please bring your SLJC water bottle or another water bottle that can be refilled during the day. You do not need to bring your SLJC notebook.
GROUP PROJECT

Most of you have started on your group project! It is important to get working on this now rather than put it off as it is never a good idea to delay this project. Remember if you are working on a project that you'd like to collect various supplies, you can send me a write-up and I'll put it in a future email update.

As a reminder your second update is due by October 30th. Your group leader should send me an update via email with the components required in the rubric you were given at the retreat (check your folders).

Harvard Mock Trial Reflection by: Cherie Sang
At the Harvard Mock Trial Seminars, I learned advanced mock trial skills. At the seminar, they had several lectures on different parts of a trial, such as opening and closing statements, direct examinations, and cross examinations. The Harvard mock trial team provided us with tips and tricks to be better attorneys and witnesses as well. On Sunday, we (Northview mock trial team) had a scrimmage with another team who attended the seminar, where we put our newly learned skills to use. During the scrimmage, I gave my first opening statement; it was definitely a great experience! 
SAMARITAN'S PURSE PROJECT

A group of people from Johns Creek work all year to get donations to pack shoe boxes for children in poverty around the globe. This year the packing day is Sunday, November 11th. If any of you are interested in volunteering, please plan to show up to help.

I delivered your generous donations - thank you.
