Hello Dragons!
It’s that time of year again for our DIG PINK / SPIKE BLUE event. Even though we can’t all come together we are still going to do our best to bring attention to stage 4 breast cancer treatments and awareness of colon cancer. This will be our 12th annual event as we take on Dowling Catholic on Thursday, Oct. 15. We are closing in on $100,000 raised over the years we have done this event. We apologize for the rush, but we would love for you to think about purchasing an event t-shirt using the form at the link below. These orders are due by noon tomorrow (Oct. 6). The proceeds will all be donated to the Side-Out Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Short sleeve will be $17 each and long sleeve will be $19 each. You may pay at the HS accounting office or send a check payable to JHS to Rick Brooks at the HS.
Please consider helping out our team make an impact by purchasing a shirt this year.

The focus of March For Our Lives Iowa is centered around fighting to end gun violence while encouraging youth civic engagement. We do this by working on both sides of the aisle for common sense gun legislation. We want legislators from all parties to take a stand in ending gun violence, ensuring public safety, and supporting our youth. In this chapter we’d be educating Johnston students on current affairs in our world, mostly relating to the gun violence epidemic, from a non-partisan standpoint. Specifically during meetings we’d spur thought provoking, yet peaceful discussions on current Iowa legislation. We want to get Johnston students involved in what’s going on around the world by creating voter registration drives, peaceful protests, and other direct actions.
Email Lauren Wessling Wessling.lauren@jdragonmail.us if you have any questions.
