 Deputy Kimminau of the Jewell County Sheriff’s Office taught the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Program to the Rock Hills Elementary 5th grade students this spring; a graduation ceremony was held on April 23 to commemorate the achievements of the class.  There were 28 student participants in the program.  When students understand the facts about drug abuse and realize their own empowerment to choose a healthy lifestyle, they are more likely to avoid the pitfalls and false promises of drug use.

     “Each student learns multiple concepts and attitudes that help them stay drug, alcohol and tobacco free,” said Lacey Keller, school principal.  “ The class also includes concepts about peer pressure,  bullying, internet safety and stress,” continued Keller, “These are all topics of concern to youth.  We strive to help them develop foundational beliefs that keep them safe.”

     Keller continued by adding that family values and influence are extremely important to youth.  The parents' opinions and clear family expectations can help children make good choices.   

     Each student wrote an essay that they submitted at the end of the class sessions.  The essay written by West Bruns was chosen to be read aloud at the graduation event.  Many parents and siblings attended the evening event to show their support of these new skills and the important knowledge learned through the program.

     The program was sponsored by the Jewell County Sheriff’s office which included working materials for the students and training for Deputy Kimminau.
