⚖️ Eighth grade students at Patricia A. DiChiaro School are gaining hands-on experience in the judicial system through the Thurgood Marshall Jr. Mock Trial Program!

Students take on the roles of attorneys and witnesses as they prepare cases, question witnesses, and compete against other schools at the Bronx Supreme Courthouse. Through this experience, students are building confidence, teamwork, public-speaking, and critical-thinking skills.

A special thank you to Ms. Thomas for her dedication and support in guiding students throughout this incredible experience! This is #YonkersMagic! 👏
