Help Nova Middle School's Law Program

Donation protected
My wife teaches law at Nova Middle School.  The Nova Middle Law Studies program teaches law and legal procedure and skills to 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.   

Eight years ago, an excellent courtroom was built inside a classroom.  Since then, students have been learning civics, the ins and outs of law, and participating in mock trials.  They have competed in local and state competitions.  Most recently, they took 1st place in the 17th Judicial Circuit mock trial competition and are awaiting results on their state competition entry.  In the past, students have earned as high as 4th place in the state of Florida.

Eight years of wear and tear has taken its toll on the courtroom, and the program would benefit from upgrades to the courtroom.  A key objective is installing a wireless sound system so parents and other guests can hear the students when they conduct their mock trials.    Digital video streaming and recording capabilities will allow parents to watch remotely their children present their mock trial.   Monitors on the jury box and attorney tables and benches for the audience will also enhance the trials and keep the courtroom similar to what "real" courtrooms look like now. 

If you would like to help make this possible for the Nova Middle law program, here is how you can help:

Donate at least $12 and you will receive one of the Nova Middle Attorney t-shirt, which were donated by Infinity Apparel Group (while supplies last*).  A picture of the shirt can be found below.  If you donate and want to receive a shirt, please complete the form linked below.  If you do not want a shirt, you do not need to complete the form. **UPDATE:  Only medium, large and XL shirts are available at this time.

Donate at least $100 and you will receive a "book" behind the jury box where your name will live for years AND a shirt (while supplies last).  See picture below for reference -- the "books" are depicted on the wall.   You must choose what you want on the spine of the book.  Example: In memory of__________; In honor of____________; The ____________ Family.   30 characters or less reads best, but you can go up to 40 characters.

Donate at least $150 and you will receive all of the above PLUS you can add the scales of justice to your "book."  

100% of the money will be donated to the Nova Middle law program.  

UPDATE: We have medium, large and XL shirts available.  Anyone that donates enough to receive a shirt can pick up the shirt  in class. 

If you donated enough to receive a shirt and/or "book," please complete this short, 10-second survey about shirt size, pickup, and book details.  https://forms.office.com/r/LU0f1s1tB0.

Thank you.
