Lake City Reporter COURTESY PHOTO To Kill a Mockingbird Courtroom re-enactment After reading half of “To Kill a Mockingbird” the 8th grade class at Epiphany Catholic School attended the 8th annual To Kill a Mockingbird Courtroom re-enactment at the Columbia County Courthouse April 30. It was an opportunity for students to inter- act with the current legal system as well as compare it to that of 1930’s Alabama. The late Rod Bowdoin first coordinated this event for Epiphany students in 2005, and it is very exciting that the judges, lawyers and court staff continue to support and enhance our reading of To Kill a Mockingbird each year.
