Nine fifth graders celebrated completing the ten day elementary school “Keepin’ it REAL” curriculum. They were joined by family, Sheriff Mike Evans, and other fellow D.A.R.E. instructors.

Following DFC Robshaw was a talk from our guest speaker, Sheriff Mike Evans, who talked about the importance of the D.A.R.E. program and about his future visions of expanding the D.A.R.E. program into all the Calvert County Schools.

At the graduation, three students from the graduating class were given an opportunity to read their D.A.R.E. essays.

The D.A.R.E. graduating students were then awarded with a certificate of completion from the D.A.R.E. program by Sister Carolyn Marie.
