D.A.R.E. graduation was held in the Milligan gym on Friday.
Drug abuse resistance education has a goal of teaching young men and women to
“make healthy and wise decisions while avoiding and resisiting drugs and
violence,” according to their literature.
The sixth grade class received instruction every Friday
afternoon from retired Trooper Wayne Trantham during the school day.
All seventeen members of the Exeter-Milligan sixth grade
class participated and graduated from the program. Many parents and
family members were present at the ceremony to support and congratulate the
students.
Five students were chosen to read their essay about the
D.A.R.E. program. Patrick Murphy, Hannah Beethe, Clare and Kate Mounce
all gave their speeches and due to another event their teacher, Mrs. Polak read
Tara Mueller’s essay.
Throughout the program the sixth graders demonstrated some
of their favorite forms of applause so the fifth graders could try them out
before each receiving their individual certificates. Certificates were also
given to local businesses who have supported the D.A.R.E. program.
