Placing fifth at state competition is something to celebrate! That’s why Plainfield Optimist Club reached out to Mr. Chris Cavanaugh, sponsor of Plainfield High School’s We The People team, in late December looking for a way to honor students for their achievement.

The student government group was one of twelve Indiana high schools competing in the state finals held December 14-16 in Indianapolis. Students responded to questions about the U.S. Constitution before a panel of judges including lawyers, professors and members of the judiciary.

The group excelled, taking 5th place in the competition.

Danville schools have had two weather-related cancellations so far this winter, and it was recently announced that those missed school days would be made up on Friday, May 29 and Monday, June 1 rather than on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Presidents' Day.

I've noticed some parents asking on social media about why Danville kids aren't going to school on those two holidays instead of tacking the days on to the end of the school year, so I went to tonight's Danville school board meeting and asked.

GUEST BLOGGER BETH CRAWFORD

For the first time, on Friday 1/9/15, we loaded up my son’s BMX bike in the backseat and rolled out to find the Awakening Youth Skatepark at The Blended Church, 2215 Country Club Rd. Just barely across the Marion County line, many Hendricks County BMX and skateboard riders began streaming in to take advantage of the ramps set up once a month by youth pastor Jeremy Plumley. 


His enthusiasm for the youth who ride BMX and skateboarders has led him to work to get the gym/recreation area of his church transformed into a skatepark to provide free riding from 6pm-12 on the 2nd Friday of every month. With a stage for a band, ping-pong table, foosball tables and bleachers for spectators, the gymnasium area transforms into the skatepark that gives otherwise cooped up teens and young adults a place to ride while temps outside make it impossible.

I have a few New Year's resolutions for They're Our Kids in 2015, so let's start in the most logical place:  No. 1.  My first resolution is to get more help with TOK in the form of additional bloggers to cover more of Hendricks County for The Village. 

Are you a Villager who likes to write? Have you thought about trying your hand at blogging but don't have a platform?

Well, let's see if we can help each other out.
