Students from Margate Elementary’s 5000 Role Models mentoring program visited the Broward County Courthouse on Tuesday for a day packed with learning and fun. They met with Judges Lorena V. Mastrarrigo and Kenneth L. Gillespie, played a Constitution-themed Q&A game with Public Defender Community Relations Coordinator Janelle Floyd, and peppered Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor with questions about the legal system.
They also tried their hardest to outsmart Judge Gillespie in a brain-teasing math challenge (they didn’t win!), and eagerly circled answers on a courtroom Bingo card as they searched for items like a judge’s nameplate and the courtroom flag. And of course, the sweeping view from the 14th floor may have been the highlight of the day.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this visit both meaningful and memorable!
