| D.A.R.E. Drug Abuse Resistance Education |
|
The D.A.R.E. program is currently taught to second, fourth, and sixth grade students in eight Maple Grove elementary schools.
Sixth grade students participate in a 17 lesson program that is taught by a uniformed officer. The students learn to identify and resist pressures that lead to the use of dangerous drugs and violence. The D.A.R.E. lessons focus on:
- providing students with accurate information about drugs and violence.
- teaching decision-making skills.
- showing students how to resist peer pressure.
- building self-esteem.
Second and fourth grade students receive lessons about personal safety and a brief introduction to some common drugs.
