ESS, GILLIS HOST DARE GRADUATION
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program held its Graduation Ceremonies
last week at Edward Schreyer School. A total of 112 ESS and Gillis School
students, all donning their bright orange caps, proudly marched in front of
the audience lead by RCMP Constable Guylaine (Gil) Berube.
Cst. Berube has been their D.A.R.E. teacher/instructor/mentor throughout
the program and is as proud as can be of each and every one of them.
Cathy Tymko of ESS and Kim Semonick of Gillis School relayed very strong
positive messages from their respective schools regarding the program and
also how proud their schools are of the students in the D.A.R.E. class this
year.
Guest Speaker Mitch Dorge was very well received by D.A.R.E. grads as well
as the audience. Mitch, the drummer for the Crash Test Dummies, focused on
how important it is to be able to say NO when it is usually easier to go
with the group.
To the delight of the crowd, five skits on the theme "ways to say no" were
performed by ESS homerooms 6B, 6C, 6DG, 6N and Gillis School. All 112
students took part. Following the well done skits, six students read essays
on "take a stand".
The evening was not only entertaining but very informative and quite
serious as members of the RCMP, including Auxiliary members and others who
have had to deal with drug abuse and violence on a regular basis, told of
stories related to drugs.
Their stories may have been different, but their messages were the same:
DARE TO RESIST DRUGS AND VIOLENCE.
The evenings ceremonies ended with the D.A.R.E. song and thank you by the
grads in class 6C followed by cake and refreshments.
Congratulations to all of you on having the courage to stand up and say NO.
The community is proud of you.
A special thanks to the following D.A.R.E. sponsors: A.F.M., Beausejour
Co-op, Beausejour Crime Stoppers, Beausejour Justice Committee, Elim
Baptist Church, Grace Lutheran Church, RM of Brokenhead, S.I.C.U., Standard
Aero, Town of Beausejour, Trinity Lutheran Church and Tyndall Eagles Club.
