In a celebration of commitment to a drug-free lifestyle, fifth-grade students from Rockford Elementary School in Dobson recently marked the culmination of their participation in the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. The ceremony, held at Rockford Elementary, was a testament to their dedication and newfound knowledge about making responsible choices.
Over this school year, these eager learners immersed themselves in a curriculum that empowered them with the tools to resist substance abuse and make informed decisions. Through interactive lessons, discussions, and activities led by dedicated officers, the students gained valuable insights into the importance of personal safety and the dangers associated with drug use.
The graduation ceremony was filled with enthusiasm and pride as each student received a certificate recognizing their successful completion of the program. Parents, teachers, and community members applauded their commitment and encouraged them to carry forward the lessons learned.
The DARE program not only instilled knowledge about the dangers of substance abuse but also fostered crucial life skills that will serve these students well beyond their fifth-grade year. It reinforced the importance of making informed choices, building resilience, and maintaining a positive outlook on life.
As these young graduates move forward, equipped with newfound wisdom and resilience, they serve as beacons of hope and inspiration for their peers. Their graduation from the DARE program signifies not just an academic achievement but a dedication to leading healthy, drug-free lives—a foundation for a brighter, safer future for our community.
