Hello Meadow Hill. Do you know what D.A.R.E is? It basically means Drug Abuse Resistance Education.  Officer Spampinato, educates the 5th graders about not taking drugs, not bullying, and making good choices when they're older. When the 5th graders take the DARE class, they get a book and a prize like an eraser or a pencil that has a dare logo on it. At the end of the year, the 5th graders have a  ceremony to celebrate their accomplishments in the D.A.R.E. program.





 Congratulation 5th graders!!!!!!!
