DARE Review <br />(Prepared by Officer Spiess <br />The St. Anthony Police Department continued with the D.A.R.E. program <br />again in the 200/-20©13 school year. D.A.R.E. <br />stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and <br />gives an Officer the unique opportunity to join <br />5t" and 8`" grade students in the classroom for <br />positive interaction and instruction. The <br />curriculum was taught to four 5"' grade classes at <br />Wilshire Park Elementary and two 5`" grade <br />classes at St. Charles Borromeo School. The 8th <br />grade curriculum was taught to five 8"' grade classes at St. Anthony Middle <br />School and two 8"' grade classes at St. Charles Borromeo. D.A.R.E. teaches <br />kids about the dangers of drugs and violence, along with how to make good <br />choices and resist negative pressures. This school year, lessons regarding <br />prescription drugs and internet safety were also added. In addition to the <br />D.A.R.E. program, the Officer serves as a part-time School Resource Officer <br />at St. Anthony High/Middle School and meets with parent and student <br />groups throughout the year. D.A.R.E. continues to be a vital component to <br />positive interaction between the police department and the young people in <br />our community. It helps us join together with the schools and parents to help <br />kids make good choices, stay safe and drug free. <br />25 <br />
