<br />D <br /> <br />RUG ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION D.A.R.E. <br />Officer Daniel Gates <br /> <br />The D.A.R.E. Program was restarted in 2007 after a hiatus in 2006. Officer Dan Gates <br />was selected to become the new DARE Officer. Officer Gates taught DARE to the fifth <br />graders at Golden Lake Elementary and Centerville Elementary. Topics covered <br />included tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, methamphetamine, deceptive advertising, bullying, <br />friendships, and responsible decision-making. The kids enjoyed the program and Officer <br />Gates enjoyed teaching it. The program ended with a graduation ceremony at each <br />school. During the ceremony, students who had written the winning essay from each <br />class were invited to read their essays to the audience and they each received a special <br />prIZe. <br /> <br />DARE is once again being taught by Officer Gates in 2008 at the same schools. The <br />support given to us by the Centennial School District and the elementary schools has <br />been paramount to the program's success, and we thank them for their support. <br /> <br />20 <br />
