Fifth-graders at Landstuhl Elementary/Middle School graduated from the well-known Drug Abuse Resistance Education program March 25.
In order to successfully complete the course, students worked through a 10-week curriculum that focused on providing children with the information and skills they need to live drug- and violence-free lives. The program is run by DARE Instructor Dava Oliver.
