STUDENTS DARE TO BE DRUG FREE

Elementary Students Graduate From Anti-Drug Program

Students in Squamish have taken up the DARE challenge and are passing with flying colours. The first graduating classes from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program were honoured Wednesday night at Mamquam Elementary School and Thursday night at Garibaldi Highlands Elementary School (GHE).

DARE is a comprehensive education program designed to equip elementary children with skills to recognize and resist social pressures to experiment with tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.

The program has been taught with great success by officers from the Squamish RCMP.

During Wednesday's ceremony Const. Wael Audi presented each student with certificates marking their completion of the program, students in Grades 5/6 presented skits on Ways to Say 'No' to drugs and DARE graduates presented their personal comments on the DARE program.

"Thanks to Const. Wael Audi and the DARE program I will never do drugs or drink alcohol," said Mamquam DARE grad David Metzler.
