RODEO COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

Let’s Rodeo! e Rodeo parade was awesome. e most beautiful oats, the best Bands, and Cowgirls with their Cowboys were everywhere. Houstonians came from near and far to enjoy this spectacular display of Rodeo fun!

Court cont.

Once they arrived at court, Jones encouraged the students to get a feel for everything and “look at the people that are entering the system… to look around the courtroom and look at the professionals that are working in the courts and how they look like us.” Jones wanted students to understand that even though there were people who looked like them that were being incarcerated, there were also people who looked like them that had successful careers.

Jones described the take aways the students had which was how they need to make good decisions so they don’t end up in the system, and they also took away that if they focus on the positive, and work hard, they will be successful in life. “ ey were empowered,” Jones said. e students were also able to sit in felony and misdemeanor courts, and even saw aggravated assault cases. Jones discussed with her students that people end up in the system sometimes due to bad decision making and their emotional response. “As an educator, it is crucial that we teach our students social and emotional skills because they struggle with managing their emotions, which can lead to bad decision- making.”

During the eld trip, students were able to interact with the judges and ask them questions about their schooling, the hardest cases they’ve seen, and so much more.

One of the most powerful moments that occurred that day for Jones is when a few parents who were attending court with their child complimented her on what she is exposing the kids to and how bene cial it is for the students to be exposed to things like court. One parent told Jones, “I wish the school district my children were in created opportunities like this because I wouldn’t be here today if they did.” e students truly enjoyed themselves and learned a lot. Most of all, they were motivated to make good desicions. Jones hopes to take another group of students back to visit the courts in April and to make this eld trip an annual one.
