A group of Waco ISD students and teachers had a private audience with Justice Sandra Day O’Connor this week in Waco at Baylor University. Through a partnership with the Baylor Law School and the Baylor School of Education, Waco ISD has been involved in a study of iCivics, an internet-based, interactive learning game founded by Justice O’Connor that is designed to help teach civics education. The partnership, which began last fall, culminated this week in Waco with a two-day visit by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. The research gathered from the project, “iCivics: The Baylor Model,” will help springboard the iCivics implementation into schools across the country.

Shalonda Moore and Calvin Richardson are two such athletes.
