D.A.R.E. Graduation

Tunkhannock Area School District Community Resource Officer & Rotarian Rich Seaberg had invited all Tunkhannock Rotarians to attend the D.A.R.E. graduation on Friday Apr 21 at the Tunkhannock Middle School auditorium. The D.A.R.E (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program is a police-based course meant as a class-room experience to teach students good decision making, helps them define problems and make responsible/good choices at a young age.

Several Rotarians took him up on the invitation and watched as 189 5th graders graduated from the D.A.R.E. course. Each student wore the D.A.R.E. t-shirt which acknowledged the Tunkhannock Rotary Club on the back.

The essay contest winner Brody Gregory read his winning essay and was presented with a $100 check courtesy of the Rotary Club.
