Sandra Day O’Connor Visits Stuart-Hobson History Class
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor recently stopped by Ms. Trenkle’s 8th grade U.S. History class at Stuart-Hobson to chat with students and answer questions. Justice O’Connor was at the school to film a segment for PBS NewsHour and graciously took some time afterwards to visit with students. Ms. Trenkle’s class prepared for the experience by doing research about Justice O’Connor, the Supreme Court, and the U.S. judicial system. They prepared questions for the former justice based on what they had learned. Ms. Trenkle says “The students were outstanding! They were very excited to have a living legend in our room… there were audible gasps from them when she entered.” Students later wrote about their experience on their class blogs.
