Lanigan Elementary School Celebrates DARE Graduations Fifth graders at Lanigan Elementary School in Fulton were honored on April 4th for their successful completion of the 17 week DARE program. The ceremony, organized by Officer Kurt Brown, featured Alderman Robert Weston as the keynote speaker. Selected students were recognized for their D.A.R.E. essays and posters in contests. D.A.R.E. not only provides lessons in the areas noted above, it also provides the police an opportunity to interact with our youth.
Students get to know a police officer and how they do their job.
The D.A.R.E. program consists of a 17 week program. Each week, a police officer meets with a class where they review a weekly lesson and usually a homework assignment. At the end of the year, Fulton Police host a D.A.R.E. Dance at the War Memorial in Fulton. Each week, a different word is discussed in D.A.R.E. class. That word is the topic of class discussion.
