Susan Burke's 5th grade class participated in the D.A.R.E.
graduation ceremonies on December 16th. The D.A.R.E.
Program, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, is a collaborative effort
between local law enforcement, Wells ISD, parents, and community leaders.

| The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in public schools
is our nation's most prominent and visible attempt to educate young people
to resist drug abuse. It reaches over 60% of elementary school children
in the United States, and is far and away the most prevalent drug education
program in use today. We'd like to thank Sheriff James Campbell,
Officer Haddock, and the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department for making
our participation in the D.A.R.E. program possible. |
