💙⚖️ WHEN I SAY I CHALLENGED THESE TEENS… I MEANT IT!!! 👏🏼🔥

Last night, these amazing Teens showed UP and showed OUT! 🙌🏼💪🏼 With more than HALF of our Teen Court family being NEW this school year, they stepped up to the challenge on only their SECOND DOCKET OF THE SEASON and handled 4 CASES!!! 😱👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you were there last night, YOU SAW IT! 👀 These Teens came prepared, stayed professional, did their research, took notes, and put in the WORK! 📚📝⚖️ And guess what?! We were DONE BY 8 PM! ⏰🙌🏼 Now THAT’S what I call teamwork, dedication, and determination! 💥

I am beyond proud of each and every one of them! 🥹💙 Watching them put in the time, effort, and dedication to learn, prepare, and take their roles seriously makes all the hard work worth it! They continue to prove that when you give Teens the opportunity, guidance, and a challenge, THEY CAN RISE TO THE OCCASION! 🥳👏🏼

To my Teen Court family: THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH! 💙 Y’all continue to amaze me!😉🚀⚖️

🍗🥤 AND NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR DINNER DONATION! 🙌🏼❤️

A HUGE shout-out and THANK YOU to Chick-fil-A West Lufkin for generously donating dinner and drinks for our Teens last night! 🐔❤️ Everything was fresh, delicious, and ready to be enjoyed! 😋👏🏼

Thank you, Renee and the entire Chick-fil-A West Lufkin team, for supporting our Teen Court family! Your generosity means so much and helps us continue doing what we do! 💙

It takes a village, and we are SO thankful for the people and businesses who believe in our Teens and invest in their future! 🫶🏼✨

TEEN COURT IS GROWING, OUR TEENS ARE STEPPING UP!!! 💙⚖️🔥

🎸🌟 TEEN COURT ROCKED THE PARK! 🌟🎸

A HUGE shout-out to Jackie for inviting Teen Court to National Night Out: Rock the Park at Cotton Square! 🎉💙 We had a BLAST getting out into the community, meeting everyone, spreading the word about Teen Court, and showing folks what we’re all about! ⚖️🙌

And let’s talk about my AMAZING Teen Volunteers! 👏👏👏

Y’all showed up, helped me set up, talked to the community, represented Teen Court like ROCKSTARS 🎸⭐… and then stayed to help me tear EVERYTHING down! 😂🙌

Because apparently, volunteering doesn’t end when the event ends! 🤣📦🪑

Seriously though, THANK YOU! 💙 Your willingness to jump in, help wherever needed, and represent Teen Court means more than you know. I’m so proud of each of you! 🥹💙

You showed up. You represented. You ROCKED! 🤘⚖️💙

Until the next event… we’ll be over here getting ready to do it all again! 😎🎉

A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Gaby for chatting with the Chick-fil-A representative and telling them all about Teen Court! 🐔❤️ We truly appreciate you taking the time to come in, learn about what we do, and support our youth! 🥰👏

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! 🌞

Last week was such a blur for me — I had to be out of the office for the remainder of the week because I was sick! 🥴 BUT before I disappeared, you all absolutely ROCKED our first Teen Court docket of the school year! 🎉

I was so impressed with everyone! For many of you, this was your first time in the courtroom, and you handled yourselves like PROS! 👏🏼 I am so proud of our Teen Court volunteers and the way you all stepped up and represented the program.

And just look at what you accomplished! 🙌🏼 our first docket resulted in a total of 90 hours of community service and 7 jury terms! That is a LOT of impact from one night!

A HUGE thank you to all of my adult volunteers as well! ❤️ Thank you for stepping up, giving your time, and being a positive voice and someone our Teens can look up to. Your involvement truly makes a difference, and I appreciate you more than you know!

And, of course, a BIG shout-out to Simple Simon's Pizza Hudson for generously donating our meal for the night!🍕
Thank you for supporting City of Lufkin Teen Court and helping make our first docket of the year a success!

We are officially BACK, and now I have one question…

ARE YOU READY FOR OCTOBER 26th ⚖️❤️

Let’s do it again!
