Mark Twain I.S. students play judge, jury in new courtroom
Court is now in session at Mark Twain Intermediate School for the Gifted and Talented.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the grand opening on Friday, Dec. 14 of a student courtroom at Mark Twain I.S. at 2401 Neptune Ave. in Coney Island as a group of guests that included Councilmember Mark Treyger were invited to see members of the school debate team demonstrate their debate skills in front of the bench.
Treyger, a Democrat whose district includes Coney Island, Gravesend and parts of Bensonhurst, secured $180,000 in city funding toward the project.
