DARE

Today Caleb had his DARE graduation. It was truly amazing. I think ALL schools should do it. It really was well done. There were two police officers that spoke and gave awards. Then the kids received their diplomas and sang some songs. I was really impressed with the words to the songs too. I really hope this helps the kids think twice about the things they take into their bodies.

Here is when they were singing. Caleb is in the front row almost all the way to the right.

Here is their principal. She is a wonderful principal. (Ms. Waters)

Here is Caleb's very good friend, Jerret. He ended up winning two awards for his DARE essay.

This is how it was set up when we arrived.

This is the sub that Caleb's class has been having. Their teacher had her appendix taken out. She is there on the right hand side of the sub. She still brings her pillow to school nad holds it against her stomach. She only comes in the afternoon to teach. She will have a good 2 weeks to heal now that we are almost on vacation.

And here is all the 5th graders with their matching blue DARE shirts. Afterward they were going to have the kids sign each others shirts with a marker.
