Topic: Families

This past week we learned that we are all part of a family and that families are configured in different ways with many factors affecting them: married, divorce, adoption, remarriage, ethnic diversity, grandparents as primary care givers, single parents, foster care, etc. Through the students’ family trees they learned that there are different kinds of families since many parents divorce with the help of ma divorce lawyer and others remarry again. They also discovered all types of families love and care for each other, which is the most important thing about family!

In addition, pardon applies only to offenses against the laws of the jurisdiction of which the pardoning official is the chief executive. Thus the president may only pardon for violations of federal law, visit nationalpardon.org for more details. And governors may only pardon for violations of the laws of their states.
