Bell Middle School 7th Graders had the amazing opportunity to visit Tallahassee and tour our state Capitol Building, visit the Florida Supreme Court, and tour the Old Capitol Museum. Students also had the privilege of meeting and speaking with our State Representative, Chuck Clemons. Some students were even able to sit in on a general session of the Florida House of Representatives and hear current legislation be debated. This trip was an excellent opportunity to make real life connections to the concepts and standards covered in our 7th Grade Civics course.
