What to Expect:

Volunteer lawyers, judges, and veterans will virtually visit classrooms across to read aloud selected children’s books that highlight important themes of democracy, elections, and Veterans contributions.

• Each session lasts up to 30 minutes
• Ideal for students in grades 1–5
• Includes interactive discussions where students can ask questions, reflect on what they heard, and share their thoughts
