November Recap #4


 411 Ceremony
In 5th grade, students in Johnston have classes during guidance class called 411 or known as DARE.  A police officer with the department talk to the students about being drug-free, being a good role model for several weeks.  At the end of the class, students wrote an essay on what drug free means to them.  Out of 125 students, Clare's essay was selected to be read at the ceremony with her classmates and parents.  
So proud of Clare

My friend and her family came to DM for the weekend to go speak at an adoption conference.  While Amber and Matt were at the conference, their children hung out with us for the day.  

Thanksgiving in Cedar Rapids
Phil's side of family were coming to Cedar Rapids to celebrate at his Uncle Mark's house.  There was a house full of family there but we had the best time.  It was wonderful to see some his aunts and uncles we haven't seen in a long time.
