In a packed courtroom, the 5th grade took the stand to determine whether a student was guilty of truancy. In this case, the student had accumulated 18 absences prior to the third quarter midterm. The prosecution presented evidence including questionable notes, missed phone calls, and declining academic performance to support their claim. Meanwhile, the defense argued that despite the absences, the student demonstrated growth by improving grades and completing assignments. Both sides called witnesses to the stand, each offering testimony to strengthen their case. Students remained engaged and thoughtful as they listened, questioned, and analyzed the evidence presented. Following closing statements, the jury adjourned to deliberate. After just five minutes of discussion, they returned to the courtroom. Jurors #1 and #2 delivered the final verdict: GUILTY. Thank you to our administration, teachers, sheriff, and all who participated, testified, and observed. Your support helped make this a meaningful and memorable learning experience. Note: This was a mock trial designed to provide students with a hands-on, real-world understanding of the judicial system.

Philipsburg K-12 students were awarded doughnuts and orange juices in recognition today for their excellent work bringing up scores on Ed Ready, Dibels/intervention and MAST Lots of smiles for all the hard work! Congratulations students, parents and teachers for all you do with motivating our students to their best! Tom G
