On Thursday, November 10, 2011 Ronald McDonald was a guest at Plainfield Elementary School. He went on a Friendship Adventure with the children showing and teaching the children how to be good friends, and how to deal with bullies. The children did some role playing with Ronald to get the message out. Angel was chosen to be the bully and Angelica was the hero. After the show, Principal Ruiz spent some time discussing with the children what they learned. Also at the end of the show Ronald McDonald made Principal Ruiz an honorary clown. The children were thrilled to meet Ronald McDonald!
