COMMUNITY EVENTS

Read Across America Day

On March 1st, staff members of the Portsmouth Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office celebrated Read Across America Day with students at Churchland Elementary School. Attorneys and other staff members spent time reading to the students and discussing what types of books they like to read. Read Across America Day, also known as Dr. Seuss Day, is an initiative created by the National Education Association to encourage children to read. It is celebrated annually on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss.

Meet the Junior Commonwealth's Attorney class of 2019

These dynamic students are going to make some very special marks on our communities in the near future. Thank you to everyone who answered my call to engage with these inquisitive young ones today! They learned from our favorite court reporter Mr. Spratley, Deputy Public Defender Stevenson, Judges Melvin, Morrison and Crowe, several members of the Sheriff Department, our community Historian Mrs. Mae Breckenridge Haywood and the amazing attorneys and administrative professionals of the office. Today we truly brought a sense of community to the courthouse. Our future leaders are ready!
