Students at Willard Elementary were delighted to hear back from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor after sending her inquisitive letters and original artwork. In the letter addressed to second graders, Justice Sotomayor took time to answer many of the children’s questions and encouraged them to use their talents to serve others.

“Always remember that dreams can come true when you work hard to achieve them.” – Sonia Sotomayor

Justice Sotomayor is the third woman, first woman of color, the first Hispanic, and first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court.
