FRIDAY! - FRIDAY! - FRIDAY!
On Wednesday, some Watseka students got the honor of being part of IL State Senator Chris Balkema’s Youth Advisory Council in Pontiac. They all got to write a bill that was then voted on by all students. The winning bill will be argued in the spring by the students to see if it passes through the Senate. It was a fun day of social networking and learning more about government.
On Friday, Mrs. Bandur’s Civic classes got to spend the afternoon at the Watseka courthouse. They got to listen to a number of people who work at the courthouse. Sheriff Perzee took them on a tour of the jail and his office. Then Bill Cheatum, the Coroner, discussed what he does for his job and answered questions. Greg Barrett, a probation officer, also talked about his job. Lastly, they got to listen to some real court cases and see how the judicial system works.
