Lee County deputies graduate Mooreville Middle School DARE students
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office in Mississippi said on Facebook that it celebrated its sixth-grade D.A.R.E. graduates at Mooreville Middle School, praising students for completing the program.
Deputies Anderson and Thrasher spent many weeks in the classroom covering topics such as making good decisions, drug facts and health effects, clear communication, stress management, responsibility and effective listening, the post said. Each class of graduates was pictured with their school resource officer and D.A.R.E. instructor, and the office said essay winners were pictured with Sheriff Johnson.
D.A.R.E., or Drug Abuse Resistance Education, is a nationwide program in which law enforcement officers deliver classroom lessons aimed at helping students resist peer pressure, understand drugs and build decision-making skills. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office provides law enforcement services across the county and employs school resource officers who work directly with students on safety and prevention initiatives.
The sheriff’s office said it is proud of the students’ hard work and commitment and is excited to see the positive impact they will continue to make. The office included photographs of the classes and essay winners in its post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
