D.A.R.E. is an educational program targeted at teaching 5th graders to make good choices in life, including on the internet. Every year, a group of high school students visits 5th graders at the Orchard Park elementary schools and talks to them about the importance of making wise decisions as they move forward in life. The students get a chance to talk to older peers that have experience with diverse middle school, high school, and overall life experiences.

If you are interested in making a positive impact on young kids’ lives, join D.A.R.E.! The first informational meeting will be held on November 14th, at 2:00 p.m. in the commons. Attending this meeting is required in order to participate in the program. If you have any questions, see Ms. Mohler in the House 2 office.
