Hey, I’m back with news about Mock Trial! To recap, nearly fifteen Palm Valley Upper School students competed together in the California Mock Trial Competition, and now that it’s over, here’s the news on how it went. Out of four competitions this season we went 2-2. Our first two competitions were against Indio High School and Great Oaks High School. We lost but by very slim margins. After that, we came back and narrowly beat Xavier in our third competition, and we won our last competition by a large margin against Amistad High School.

I heard there were “gavels” won.
What about the gavels ???
Tiny ‘golden’ (plastic) gavel pins were awarded to those who were nominated for awards in their roles. Our team had 12 nominees.
And of course we had our three medalists, Shelby (bronze) Lawrence (bronze) and Hannah (gold)
Would like to mention: We placed ninth overall in Riverside County
