On Friday, February 15th the SMS 5th Graders took their oath to be drug and alcohol free during the DARE graduation ceremony. DARE graduation is one of the culminating events of the DARE program. All students received their DARE t-shirt and graduation certificate. Officer Dykstra also awarded DARE medallions to the eight students whose DARE essays exemplified what the students had learned about in DARE. All the 5th graders did a wonderful job and we hope that they have learned the skills to help them make safe, healthy, and responsible choices about everything from not using drugs and alcohol to being a good friend! Stay tuned for information in April about the DARE Day outing to Arnolds Park, which will take place in mid-May.
