On Wednesday, March 25, the 5th
Grade D.A.R.E. graduation at Our Lady Star of the Sea in Solomons was held.
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. This was the second graduation for DFC M. Robshaw
at Our Lady Star of the Sea. The graduation opened with a few words from DFC
Robshaw about the importance of making safe and responsible choices and
applauding the parents for doing a great job raising their children thus far.
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. essays gave students the opportunity to reflect on what they
learned during D.A.R.E. DFC Robshaw
awarded the three essay winners with their own stuffed DAREN the Lion. 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. DFC Robshaw gave the final
speech to the graduating class congratulating them on their accomplishments and
told the graduating class to always remember to make safe and responsible
decisions in life because you never know what the future holds.
