DARE stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and is a part of the 5 th grade health curriculum. They teach resistance to drugs, alcohol and tobacco, as well as consequences of usage, taking a stand reducing violence, anger resolution, how to say no, resisting gang and group violence and building self esteem. Packets for parents were distributed. They include information such as how to talk to your children about drugs and symptoms of usage.
Extra packets are available in the office.
