Drug Abuse Resistance Education
(DARE)
"D.A.R.E.(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a comprehensive
prevention education program designed to equip school children with
skills to recognize and resist social pressures to experiment with tobacco,
alcohol, other drugs and violence. This unique program utilizes uniformed
law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in
a classroom setting. D.A.R.E. gives special attention to fifth and sixth
grade students to prepare them for entry into intermediate & high
school, where they are most likely to encounter pressure to use drugs.
D.A.R.E also offers a formal curriculum at the high school level which
is a follow-up & re-enforcement of the core training (grade 5 &
6). Also there will soon be a parents program to compliment the children's
programs."
