Collin's DARE Graduation

On Thursday, May 10, Collin graduated from the DARE program at SHS. This is a program taught by a Sheriff Deputy. The kids call her the "DARE Lady".
This program teaches kids the dangers of drugs, alcohol and violence. To complete the DARE program each child has to complete a workbook and write an essay. Three children were chosen to read their essays. One spoke of an addict who told her never to start---this child told of the diseases that follows the addiction. A boy told of all the reasons not to do drugs or alcohol, then he ends the essay with the question......"isn't that a good reason not to do drugs?......
These children are finishing the 5th grade, some lives have already been affected by the use of drugs, alcohol and violence.
