🚨🚨🚨CONGRATULATIONS!!!🚨🚨🚨

Yesterday marked a proud and exciting milestone for our department as we celebrated our very first D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program graduation in partnership with USD 382.

We want to extend a huge congratulations to all of our graduates. Your hard work, commitment, and willingness to learn important life skills have paid off. Throughout this program, you’ve shown courage in making positive choices, standing up to peer pressure, and building the confidence to lead safe and healthy lives.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you. You represent the future of our community, and we know you will continue to make great decisions both in and out of the classroom.

A special thank you goes out to our D.A.R.E. Officers, Sergeant Danny Gimpel and Officer Donovan Wahrman, the educators, and the families who supported these students every step of the way.

Join us in celebrating these students and wishing them continued success!
