Children from kindergarten through eighth grade living at
Casa de la Esperanza were adopted into the IHAD family. The excitement began
with a ceremony of speeches by Class Sponsors Debbie Lane and Donald Sturm,
Mayor Leona Stoecker, and Dreamers Nicole, Susana, and Cristy. Finally, a
Longmont Dreamer led the group through the Dreamer Pledge. Project Coordinator
Jean Pierre La Faye translated the speeches into Spanish, and also gave each
new Dreamer the chance to share their dream.
