NEW DARE PROGRAM

I am happy to announce that it is that time of year again where we will be implementing the D.A.R.E. program for our fifth graders here at Daniel Boone Elementary School. I am very excited as this year this the D.A.R.E. program will be directed by myself,Officer Garrett Nixon of the New Melle Police Department and in conjunction with D.A.R.E. America. We will be providing your child with the tools necessary to not only be educated about drugs, alcohol and their harmful side effects, but I will also be providing them ways to avoid and say, “No” to drugs and alcohol.

The statistics are clear that the D.A.R.E. program is effective, but I cannot do it alone. I will need your help as a parent or guardian. I would ask that you go over the D.A.R.E. lessons that will be provided to your child in class and have discussions about what they have learned. Together we can equip them with the knowledge and skills to make healthy and good decisions for themselves.

As part of the ten-week lesson plan, we will finish with a D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony where awards and certificates will be handed out along with our own Daniel Boone Elementary personalized D.A.R.E. tee shirts.  Thank you for your help. I look forward to teaching your child about how to stay healthy and make good decisions regarding drugs and alcohol.

D.A.R.E. Officer,
