Award
winners
are
often
accepted
with
scholarships
to
some
of

most
prestigious

in

More
than
100
students
from
a
few
County
high
schools
recently
learned
some
valuable
life
lessons,
while
witnessing
actual
criminal
court
cases
as

sponsored
by

students
get
a
better
understanding
of
how
the
state's
justice
system
works
and
the
consequences
of
making
poor
choices.
It's.
A
So
important,
just
because
we're
bringing
the
kids
from
all
across
animal
County
in
and
our
goal
has
been
met
about
the
program
over
about
two
years
ago.
We
had
a
handful
of
students.
Now
we
have
almost
every
High
School
in
the
county
coming
to
the
program
and
our
goal
is
to
touch
one
kid
from
each
school.
If
we
do
that,
we
win
because
we
touched
somebody
the.
B
A
Do
a
lot
of
things
behind
the
scenes,
as
you
know,
before
the
program
to
get
together
to
get
things
in
place
and
we
try
and
keep
it
fresh
for
the
kids,
make
it
real
life,
but
also
things
that
are
relevant
and
prevalent
in
their
lives
every
day,
and
one
of
them
now,
as
you
know,
is
driving
their
age
where
they
can
drive,
and
our
concern
now
is
texting
and
driving
using
their
phone.
So
we're
hoping
that
they
see
that
this
is
things
that
are
coming
to
them
and
hoping
to
help
them
make
good
decisions.
The.

Schools
in
court
program
began
in
two
thousand
and
is
presented
twice
in
the
fall
and
twice
in
the
spring
for
county
high
school
students
in
celebration
of

to
stress
the
many
benefits
of
walking
to
school
and
overall
physical
activity.
I'll.
F
Our
kids
have
a
difficult
time,
learning
if
they're,
just
stagnant
and
so
having
an
opportunity
to
to
release
that
energy
and
then
come
back
into
the
classroom,
it's
a
little
easier
for
them
to
absorb.
Also,
just
from
a
standpoint
of
you
know,
your
your
overall
fitness
and
overall
health
and
establishing
these
habits
early
is
very
important.
B
Pedestrian
safety
tips
for
students
and
drivers
alike
were
also
emphasized.

look
up,
look
out
and
stay
alert
when
walking
to
school
and
driving
through
school
zones
in
culmination
of
several
school
activities.
