One of many posters on the wall at the gym in TEN School this morning as a class of students finish up a course on Drug and Alcohol eduction with teachers, law enforcement officers and parents in attendance.

Students read their written thoughts on what they had learned in the course and then placed them in a time capsule that will be opened in Grade 12 later in life.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons. The D.A.R.E. program is more than just drug prevention education; it teaches students good decision making skills to help them avoid high-risk behavior to ensure they grow up healthy, safe and secure. The totally new D.A.R.E. curricula integrates the latest in research-based strategies into the world’s largest and most effective educational delivery network.
