The 4/5’s Field Trip to the New York State Museum and Capitol Tour 

Our recently elected 4/5 President, Vice President and Secretary of Class took an Oath of Office and were sworn in by the previous 4/5 President, V.P. and Secretary of Class. 

The 4/5 students had the opportunity to visit and tour the Rensselaer County Supreme Court and participate in a mock trial.  It was an incredible educational experience for everyone!
