Maia had her D.A.R.E. graduation today. The 5th grade participated in this program where Officer Adams came and taught the kids various lessons on the negative effects of substance abuse. Also the positive effects of having good friends and peers. He did it in a very cool way that got the kids motivated and excited to stay drug free and make good friends that help you make good choices in life. Maia was always so excited every Tuesday to go to school because it was D.A.R.E. day. What a great experience for all the kids. They invited all of the parents to this ceremony. Probably a little preview for H.S. graduation. Which will come sooner than I think.

He was so awesome with the kids.

Cool T-Shirt! Congrats Maia!

Maia's certificate of achievement for completing
the program.

This picture is a little hard to see. Sorry. Maia is getting
her certificate from Officer Adams. Mrs. Elzinga (her teacher),
Mr. Larsen (principal), and Mrs. Beckert (teacher) were also on stage.

I remember doing that program when I was in school. It was really fun and educational. I am glad to hear that they are still doing it.
