NEW CREEK -- New Creek middle school held their annual D.A.R.E. graduation for fifth graders on Thursday, May 18.
The D.A.R.E. program is all about teaching students how to make good decisions, explained Sheriff Fraley. Students need to communicate with their parents. “I want them to speak out and tell you how they feel. Communication is key,” said Sheriff Craig Fraley.
Brady Ours was presented with the Outstanding Student award. Madison Anderson, Marcus Crowl, and Shawnna McGuinness received awards for their essays on what D.A.R.E. had taught them.
D.A.R.E. teaches students around the country how to say no to drugs, how to make decisions, and how to evaluate the outcome.
“Define, assess, respond, evaluate. Those words don't sound like much, do they? Those words alone have created a program for the USA that progresses all of the time. This program gives some children a second change in life. For some, that second chance makes it possible to actually do something with their life... and future. Now those four words do have a meaning,” wrote Anderson.
“It's important to stay drug-free and avoid violence because it keeps you, your body, and your mind safe,” Ours wrote.
