South Dearborn Middle School College and Career Readiness students interested in criminal justice had the opportunity to tour the Dearborn County Court House. During their visit, they spoke with Honorable Judge Sally A. McLaughlin, Prosecutor Lynn Deddens, Dearborn County Sheriff Shane McHenry, Probation Officer Steve Kelly, and Adult Protective Services Suellen Cauble. Students also had the chance to meet Bailey the Therapy Dog. Her role is to help keep victims calm during their trial proceedings. The students are grateful for this deep learning experience of our court system!

South Dearborn Middle School has joined with the Aurora Police Department to help Officer Jarrod Nichols who was severely injured in a car accident in September. Students have written cards, created 3D prints, and held different fundraising events to help with his medical expenses. There is another fundraiser taking place tomorrow: Hats Off For Nichols. Students who donate $1 to their 1st period teacher may wear a hat for the day.
