St. Germaine Celebrates Abe Lincoln

Circuit Court Judge Vincenzo Chimera paid a visit to the third, fourth and fifth grade classes on Friday, Feb 17th to help us celebrate President Abe Lincoln. Judge Chimera’s visit was a part of the Illinois Judges Association Reading Project.

He read the story of Abe Lincoln’s Hat by Martha Brenner. The book is a delightful account of the personality and adventures of Abraham Lincoln. The students found Lincoln’s “filing system,” which included leaving important notes in his tall black hat, quite amusing.

After the reading, Judge Chimera answered students’ questions about the court system.

St. Germaine School in Oak Lawn provides an outstanding educational experience for students from 3-year-old pre-school to eighth grade. The St. Germaine School community is strong and growing, with updated technology, a variety of sports programs as well as a half and full day pre-school.
