For several weeks, Sheriff Crisafulli has visited 5th-grade classrooms working with students to educate them about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. He worked with the students to instill good decision-making skills and shared the knowledge needed to resist substance abuse. In addition, he touched on the dangers of bullying and how to safely report it. On Monday, January 22, Grade 5 teachers, Mrs. Camille Jenkins, Mrs. Lisa Rill and Mrs. Alayne Shockley, hosted a special program where students received their D.A.R.E graduation certificates and hats.
