Thanks to your generous support, we were able to attend two mock trial competitions hosted by the College of William and Mary and Kennesaw State University this past weekend! Our first team went to William and Mary, where Wyatt Smith got an award. On our second team, Ethan Harris and Marisa Guffey each got an award at Kennesaw. We are extremely proud of them and everyone who competed this past weekend!
