Today, Lady Frederick's 8th graders took on one of the most important legal cases of our time: The State vs. SpongeBob SquarePants.

This talented team successfully proved that SpongeBob did indeed murder Mr. Krabs! Through persuasive arguments, compelling exhibits, witness testimony, and a little courtroom flair, students showcased their creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, public speaking, and problem-solving skills.

Future lawyers, actors, leaders, and thinkers were on full display today!

A special thanks to Judge Grodus for his unwavering dedication to due process, proper courtroom decorum, and the faithful interpretation of maritime crustacean homicide law.

Our 9th-11th grade All A students were rewarded last week for their academic success with a day at Craig's Cruisers in Grand Rapids.

Students enjoyed the zipline ride, raced one another in go-karts, played mini-golf, and ate at the unlimited buffet. Nearly thirty students were invited to attend the trip this year!

Congratulations to these students who put in the work needed to achieve All A's!
