D.A.R.E Graduation!

Landan and his classmates...

What is D.A.R.E? It stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. It is the highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence.

Landan receiving his certificate from Officer Light...

Landan and his 6th grade class at Harrison Elementary went through this program this year. It was such a GREAT experience for Landan and all of his peers. On Thursday, they had a special graduation ceremony. Each of the kids had to write a report about what they had learned from D.A.R.E and some of them were chosen to be read at graduation. It was so touching to hear some of these reports and to see these, soon to be middle school kids, so serious about the decisions they had made to be drug free. I am SO proud of Landan and all of his friends. I will continue to pray that they stick to their promise.

We had cake and punch after the ceremony...
