🎉⚖️What an amazing Law Day at Driftwood Elementary!⚖️🎉

On Friday, our students had the honor of welcoming Broward County Court Judges Florence Barner and Amanda Cawthon!

They inspired our students with valuable lessons about setting goals, honesty, our judicial system, and the importance of "See Something, Say Something." Students also loved the mini gavels and special treats! 🥰⚖️

At Driftwood Elementary, we're inspiring our students to dream big and become tomorrow's leaders. Who knows… we may have future judges and attorneys in our classrooms today!

💙 A HUGE thank you to Mr. Butler for organizing this incredible event and bringing it all together! We also want to thank our amazing Driftwood staff for helping make the day such a wonderful success, and Judges Florence Barner and Amanda Cawthon for inspiring our students! 👏🐉
